American Will Not Contest For The Barony Of Ferrers
The Wharton peerage case in Westminster concerns Henry Ferrers and his claim to Ferrers of Chartley through his uncle Charles Ferrers who died in the United States in 1878. Charles lived with Sarah Pittaway in England and later in America, and their children in both countries affect the validity of the marriage and birth records. The American Ferrers show little interest in the barony, while the Petitioner must prove Charles never married if he seeks the peerage. The article links the Ferrers family to the Washingtons and notable British colonial figures, noting other American ties and recent honors related to Sir George Reid and the Bath order.
