In the "Wilkinson Letters," Simeon Brown stated that "Job, a brother of William, adhered to the Quakers even in Virginia." (See ¶4. above for brother William.) CWT also believed that Job removed to ???? Co., Va.157

The children of Job & Mary Throckmorton apparently remained in N.J.

  1. REBECCA THROCKMORTON was born ca. 1742/3 in Freehold, N.J., baptized 9 Feb. 1746 at Christ Church, Shrewsbury, married CHARLES DUMAS (DEMOSS) ca. 1765, died after 1792 (Figure 28). Note that Charles & Rebecca Demoss’ son Lewis Demoss158 married his cousin Jane Throckmorton (see ¶4.vii. above).

In the 1787 tax list Luis Throckmorton was charged with a tax for himself, 1 white male 16-26 [son Job or Jonathan?], 0 blacks, 2 horses, mares, colts & mules and 5 cattle.164

On 18 Oct. 1794 Lewis Throckmorton witnessed a deed from George & Sarah Tarvin to John Easton for 417 acres approximately one mile from the Potomac River.165

Lewis & Rachel owned large tracts of land on the south branch of the Potomac River and on the Cacapon River. Evidently in preparation for their planned removal to Ohio they made the following sales:

• 14 Sep. 1795: 37½ acres in Hampshire Co. to Thomas Flora of Hampshire Co. Witnesses: Jacob Flora [see ¶iii. below], Jacob Chrisman & Mary Chrisman,

• 16 Sep. 1797: 37½ acres on the Potomac River to Robert Rogers of Hampshire Co. Witness: Andrew Woodrow,

• 18 Sep. 1797: 361 acres near the Potomac River to Charles Bevin of Hampshire Co. Witness: Andrew Woodrow, but Lewis’ death prevented their move west.

The children of Lewis & Rachel Throckmorton were:

  1. JOB THROCKMORTON, born Monmouth Co., N.J. 176_(?), married SARAH [-?-], died between 29 May 1780 and 21 Dec. 1780, leaving two unmarried daughters and no wife.166

He appointed as his executors Morgan Morgan, Esq., of Berkeley Co., Va., David Pye of N.Y. and Philip Grandon of N.J.167 The estate was appraised 21 Dec. 1780 at £1,880/2/0. At a public sale, £2,805/6/0 was realized.168

The two children of Job Throckmorton were probably born in Va.:

  1. SARAH THROCKMORTON, died after 1780.
  2. MARY THROCKMORTON, died after 1780.
  1. JONATHAN (JOHN) THROCKMORTON, born Hampshire Co., Va.

LEWIS THROCKMORTON Jr., born 1769/70 Hampshire Co., Va.,170 married Mrs. DRUSILLA (HARTLEY) FLORA 1794 in Pike Co., Ohio, died 1857-1860, possibly buried in Grahamville Cemetery, Scioto Twp., Jackson Co., Ohio.

Her parents were Thomas & Rebecca (Bigustoff) Hartley.171

Lewis sold his land in Hampshire Co., Va. in 1796. He and his brother Daniel (see ¶viii. below) then joined a party to trek through Pennsylvania to Ohio.

Lewis enlisted in the Infantry at Portsmouth, Jackson Co.(?), Ohio. He served from 20 Sep. 1813 until discharged 20 Mar. 1815. He was a corporal in Capt. John T. Chunn’s Company, 17th U.S. Infantry. From Portsmouth he was marched to Chillicothe, where he guarded British prisoners. In the spring of 1814 he went to Lower Sandusky. From there he sailed to Put-in-Bay Island and on to Erie, Penn.; thence into northern New York State and Canada. He served as a wheelwright. In 1850 he applied for a pension, giving his age as 83 years. That dates his birth to 1767. Probably he had exaggerated his age in order to get the pension. In his pension claim he stated that the cold and exposure of the campaign caused severe back trouble and other ills. On 2 Apr. 1851 he was granted at the Jackson Co. Court House 160 acres of land. Whether he used or sold this land is not known. His pension file number is IF-18422.172
