Wherefore = For what reason? Because of what? Why? (very old fashioned)
"Wherefore do the wicked live?" ~ Job 21:7 King James Bible
Wherewith = Out of which? By means of which? (very very old fashioned)
"...the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people..." ~ Zachariah 14:12 KJB
Whither = to where? to which place? (uncommon)
"The wagon took me on, I knew not whither" ~ My Antonia by Willa Cather
Whence = from where? from what place? (more common than whither, but still uncommon)
"Whence did the principle of life proceed?" ~ Mary Shelley
Don't worry about them though, they're very old-fashioned and not necessary in modern English.
