• ' In 1577 he married Frances, daughter of Sir Henry Clifford, second Earl of Cumberland. He had two sons by his first marriage: Sir George and Sir Thomas, both educated at Caius College, Cambridge. His second wife was a rich widow, Dorothy Colby, whom he married in 1597. She had given the corruptible Lord Bacon a bribe of £310 to decide in her favor a suite of her second husband’s estate. Sir Phillip Wharton had the honor of entertaining King James I at Wharton Hall in 1617.
• ' The Whartons, by the time of Sir Phillip, had accumulated large estates, but he was a poor manager. He squandered his own and his wife’s fortunes. His debts accumulated and, as we would say today, a trustee had to be appointed and Sir Phillip was put on an allowance. His wife complained that he had taken away all her living, and she was dependent on the charity of friends.

Philip Wharton, 3rd Baron Wharton (1555 – 1625) was an English peer of the Wharton barony. He was named after his godfather, Philip II of Spain. He inherited the title of Baron when he was 17 years old.

Philip was married three times, first to Frances Clifford, second daughter of Henry Clifford, 2nd Earl of Cumberland in 1577. She died in 1592 and in 1597 he married to Dorothy Colby. He was married a third time after 1602.

Notable in his life was his entertaining King James in 1617 which, as was common in those days, nearly bankrupted him. In 1618 his debts amounted to £16,713 on an annual income of £2,107. Philip died in 1625 and was buried at Healaugh.

The 3rd baron had two sons, Sir George who died in 1609 and Sir Thomas of Aske who died in 1622. Therefore neither son inherited the barony which was passed to Philip, the oldest legitimate son of Sir Thomas.
