Preface

The immigrant Throckmorton ancestors of Job Throckmorton were John & Rebecca (Farrand) Throckmorton (See   my GEDCOM at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=bartstam for their ancestry and note that John married Rebecca Farrand [not Colvill]¹ and that they did not emigrate in 1630/1631 aboard the Lyon with Roger Williams as have been previously reported). Apparently they settled at Throckorton's Cove on Forest River in what is now Marblehead but in the 1630s was part of Salem South Fields.^1a  On 23 Sept. 1635 John Woollcott sold to William Lord (both of Salem) a house, etc., and "a Tenn acre Lott of ground  on the south syd" for "Fifteene pounds Tenn shillinge to mee in hand paid (according to an order of Arbitermt mad by mr Throckmorton, & John Woodbury, indiffertlie chosen by vs both for that purpose)."  Roger Williams had formerly occupied this house.^1b

 The Williams and the Throckmorton families first settled in Salem, Mass., where John Throckmorton was a merchant and ship owner and Rev. Williams pursued his call to the ministry.

In Jan. 1636 Roger Williams fled the tyranny and persecution of the Salem Church to what is now Providence, R. I., where he purchased land from the Narragansett Indians. John Throckmorton probably joined Roger Williams in Providence that summer. Throckmorton was among Roger Williams’ twelve associates to whom Williams deeded some of his Indian land. When Roger Williams established the first Baptist church in America, John & Rebecca Throckmorton were on the "List of Original Members Received in 1638." This re-baptism of adults, who had been previously baptized by sprinkling, offended the Salem church which promptly excommunicated members who believed in adult baptism.

On 22 Apr. 1639 John Throckmorton purchased the northern half of Prudence Island in Narragansett Bay from Roger Williams and settled there, thus establishing the Throckmortons as the first white family to live on that island.

In Sep. 1642 John Throckmorton petitioned the Dutch governor of New Amsterdam for permission to settle twelve miles east of Manhattan. The Dutch called the area Vredelandt, or Land of Peace, but it is now known as Throg’s Neck (a corruption of Throckmorton’s Neck) and is readily identified at the north end of the Throgs Neck Bridge. Indian uprisings, and their attendant massacres, were frequent in this area, causing the Throckmortons to return to Rhode Island. In 1652, John sold all of his Vredelandt land to Augustine Heerman.

In the spring of 1672, George Fox, founder of the Society of Friends (Quakers) visited Rhode Island and, through his eloquent preaching, converted many of the leading inhabitants to Quakerism, among them John Throckmorton.

On 8 Apr. 1665 John Throckmorton joined with residents of Gravesend, Long Island, in the purchase of land in Monmouth County, N. J., becoming the owner of two shares. Although John did not actually settle there, several of his children did. It was while visiting these children in 1684 that John Throckmorton died and was buried in the Throckmorton-Lippit-Taylor burying ground in Middletown, N. J.

Job Throckmorton, fifth child and second son of John & Rebecca, was born 30 Sep. 1650 in Providence. At the age of 16 he accompanied his elder brother, John, to Monmouth County and drew lot no. 22 in the division of land at Middletown 30 Dec. 1667. He married in Freehold, N. J., on Feb. 1684/5 Sarah Leonard, whose parents, Henry & Mary Leonard, had emigrated from Bilston, Staffordshire, England in the late 1640s.

Henry Leonard, with his brother James, distinguished himself in the ironworks of Lynn and Braintree, Mass. About 1670 Henry established a bloomery at Rowley Village (near Salem). Although the endeavor was a technological success, the illiterate Henry fell heavily into debt and in 1673 he and his family moved to Monmouth Co., N.J. where he and his sons built a forge at Tinton Falls (see #1.vii. and #1.vii.f. in my companion article "Leonard Siblings Henry, James, Philip, Sarah & Thomas in America & Some of their Descendants."

Among the children of Job & Sarah (Leonard) Throckmorton was a son, Job. He married Frances Stout, the daughter of John & Elizabeth (Crawford) Stout, in 1720 in New Jersey. John Stout was born 1645 in Gravesend, Long Island, N.Y. and, in 1667, drew lot no. 19 in Middletown. Frances was born ca. 1700 on her father's property in Middletown.

Frances Stout was the granddaughter of Penelope (Van Princen) and Richard Stout. Richard was one of twelve patentees of what is now known as the Monmouth Patent. By 1667, Richard Stout held lot no. 64 and upland country in Middletown. In 1668 the First Baptist Church of New Jersey was organized in the Stout home. John, the eldest son, was among the eighteen male charter members.

Job & Frances (Stout) Throckmorton are the progenitors of the following genealogy. They were the parents of eleven children – three girls and eight boys – born over a period of 25 years. These children are distinguished by Arabic numerals, 1 through 11. The initials and numbers following the children’s names reference book authors and pages (see List of Abbreviations below).

The Job Throckmorton’s grandchildren are designated by small Roman numerals, and their great-grandchildren, by lower case letters. Subsequent generations are denoted by capital Roman numerals, small Roman numerals, open circles, filled-in squares and bullets (•).

To help the reader keep track of this large family, the first three generations, beginning with the children of Job & Frances Throckmorton (with birth and death dates) are listed below. Please note that each of the eleven Throckmorton children are treated in entirety (so far as is known) before a new child is introduced into the text, so that the eleventh and last child does not appear until the very last page.

The eleven children of Job and Frances (Stout) Throckmorton – and some of their descendants - follow. Please note that only those children who migrated to Virginia and Ohio are dealt with in depth in this account.

1. SARAH THROCKMORTON [FGS, 80-81] was born 1 Nov. 1721 in Middletown, N.J., married her cousin DANIEL GRANDIN at Christ Church, Shrewsbury, N.J., by license dated 20 Sep. 1749, died 1 Feb. 1761. Daniel was born 11 May 1723 in Freehold, N.J., died 1 Nov. 1790. His parents were Daniel & Mary (Throckmorton) Grandin.^1c Mary was a sister of Sarah’s father, Job. Both Sarah and Daniel were interred in the Old Topanemus Graveyard, Middletown, N.J. It appears that this line did not join the late 18^th-century westward migration to Virginia and Ohio.

2. MARY THROCKMORTON [FGS, 81] born ca. 1725, had license to marry REUBEN FOSTER 21 June 1750. Samuel Grandin was the voucher.  Reuben was born ca. 1725.

Mary was mentioned in the will of Sarah Nichols. Mary was to receive her share of the £30 to be equally divided among John Throckmorton, William Throckmorton, Mary fouster wife of Reuben fouster, Daniel Throckmorton, Job Throckmorton, Rebackah Throckmorton, Lewis Throckmorton and Joseph Throckmorton.² Sarah (Throckmorton) Nichols was the eldest daughter of Job & Sarah (Leonard) Throckmorton, i.e., Mary’s aunt.³ Sarah had died 6 Apr. 1755. Nothing further is known of Reuben and Mary Foster.

 3. JOHN THROCKMORTON [FGS, 98] was born ca. 1724 (ca. 1728?) in Freehold, Monmouth, Co., N.J., married LYDIA WEST 3 Oct. 1752, died 1775 in     Freehold⁴ (Figures 1 & 2).

John was a carpenter. He served as administrator of his father’s estate. On 25 July 1748 Frances (John’s mother) renounced her right as administratrix in favor of John. John and Samuel Throckmorton (John’s uncle?), yeoman, of the same place, signed a bond for £500.⁵ In a private communication from CWT to Philip H. Waddell Smith, Princeton, N.J., 15 Sep. 1933, CWT wrote that "John probably went to Virginia."⁶

John & Lydia Throckmorton had at least one child, viz: JOSEPH THROCKMORTON, born 14 June 1765 in Sussex Co., N.J., died in 1851. Joseph was a ship carpenter and farmer.⁷ Revolutionary War pension #S14689 appears to satisfy the above meager information, viz: "Joseph Throckmorton, N.J. line, S14689, applied [for a pension] 3 Oct. 1832, McKean Co., Penn., aged 67. Soldier lived in Monmouth Co., N.J. at enlistment, soldier was born 14 June 1765 in Sussex, Co., N.J., after military service he moved to Middletown, N.J., then moved to Utica, N.Y., then moved to Auburn, N.Y., then to Geneva, N.Y., then moved to Hector in Potter Co., Penn., where he lived when he applied in McKean Co., Penn."⁸ Joseph Throckmorton, Revolutionary War veteran age 75, was living in 1840 in Hector Twp., Potter Co., Penn., with E. Throckmorton.⁹

4. WILLIAM THROCKMORTON [FGS, 98-99; CWT, 222 & 226] was born 27 Jan./June 1730 in Freehold, N.J., married SARAH GILLET 26 Dec. 1759 at the First Presbyterian Church, Morristown, N.J.,¹⁰ died Oct. 1796 in Berkeley Co., Va. (now W. Va.). Sarah was born 2 Apr. 1742 in Morris Co., N.J., daughter of Elijah & Jane Gillet (Figure 3 and Figure 4).

William was a merchant and a soldier (a private) in Virginia.¹¹ Note that Stillwell’s article (Figure 4) apparently covers the lives of two William Throckmortons – the first until 1770 and the second starting in 1782. We are only interested in the first one.

The above statements that William was married in a Presbyterian church and that he was a soldier may be at variance with Simeon Wilson Dixon’s 22 Feb. 1919 letter to Dr. Tinsley Brown in which he states that William (and other Throckmortons living in Shrewsbury) were Quakers, having kept "the faith the entire family had brought from Rhode Island – Quaker."¹² These Quakers, being non-resistant people, in the Revolutionary War were called Tories and some of them were. Simeon Dixon goes on to state that William and his sister Rebecca (see ¶9. below) were the first of the family to remove to Virginia. They were said to have left New Jersey partly because of their position on the Revolutionary War. William was believed to have carried into Virginia money and immovables belonging to other family members who feared confiscation at the hands of the Patriots in the old home.

In 1754 William Throckmorton located lands where Succasunna & McCainville now stand in Roxbury Twp., Morris Co. He sold the same land to Cornelius Slaight.^12a

In the 1755 will of Sarah (Throckmorton) Nichols (William’s aunt), William received his share of the £30 to be equally divided between John Throckmorton, William Throckmorton, Mary fouster wife of Reuben fouster, Daniel Throckmorton, Job Throckmorton, Rebacah Throckmorton, Lewis Throckmorton and Joseph Throckmorton. William received an additional £17.¹³

In her 1962 DAR Application #492567 Miss Ellen Douglass Bender, 1014 Florida Ave., Martinsburg, WV, obtained her membership on the basis that our William Throckmorton received warrant #4798 for 100 acres in the Virginia Military District of Ohio for 3 years’ service as a private in the Virginia Continental Line. This warrant was issued 3 June 1797. A Robert Gibbons received the warrant for William. Ellen is descended through William & Sarah’s son Thomas (see ¶4.vi, below).

According to Federal Land Series, vol. 4, Part I, Grants in the Virginia Military District of Ohio by Clifford N. Smith (1982), p. 120, warrant #4798 for 100 acres was issued 3 June 1797 to a William Throckmorton. The patentee was John Harrison and the actual settlers in 1826 were heirs of Benjamin Houghs and A[llen] Latham. The land was located on the Scioto River in Franklin Twp., Franklin Co., Ohio (Survey #S-3356, 96 acres, Survey Book C, p. 279).

In the 1787 Virginia census for Berkeley Co., William Throckmorton was charged with tax on his 4 horses, mares, colts & mules and 4 cattle. He also paid the taxes for his son William, Jr., who was listed separately (see ¶v. below).¹⁴

On 13 Dec. 1778 a William Throgmorton of Berkeley Co. bought from John Briscoe 350 acres alongside Thomas Throgmorton’s land.¹⁵ On the same date John Briscoe by Berkeley & Frederick Co. deeds sold to a Thomas Throgmorton of Frederick Co. lands lying in Frederick and Berkeley counties.  Witnesses to the Frederick Co. deed included a William Throckmorton and 2 Albion Throckmortons.¹⁶  Then on 3 Oct. 1785 William Throckmorton of Frederick Co. sold for 5 shillings to John Wright 105 acres of the land he had bought from John Briscoe.  Witnesses included a Thomas Throckmorton.^16a  William's wife did not sign this deed because she could not conveniently come to the Court.  Consequently on 3 & 4 Oct. 1785 Thomas Throckmorton and William Helm, Gent., Justices of the Peace, were authorized and directed to go to William Throckmorton's wife Mary Throckmorton to receive her "acknowledge" thereof and examine her privately and apart from the said William her husband.^16b  Thus it appears that William's wife was named Mary (not Sarah) and consequently we may have here the wrong William Throckmorton.  Were the above William and Thomas Throckmorton part of the Virginia line of Throckmortons?

The 1794 Landbook for (West) Berkeley Co. listed William Throckmorton, Sr. with 50 acres.¹⁷ 

No will for William Throckmorton has been found. On 5 Nov. 1796 William Throckmorton's estate was appraised at £219/10/0 by Colbert Anderson, Richard Ridgeway and Robert Holyday.¹⁸ A transcription of the inventory of William’s estate appears in Figure 5A and the certification of it in Figure 5B. (Note error in the date above the names of the three appraisers: 1791 should be 1796.)

The nine children of William & Sarah Throckmorton were:

1. JOHN THROCKMORTON, born ca. 1760, Morris Co., N.J. John appears on p. 090 of the 1820 census for Berkeley Co., Va.

2. HANNAH THROCKMORTON, born ca. 1761 in Morris Co., N.J., married [-?-] NELSON.

3. JOB THROCKMORTON, born ca. 1761/1762, Morris Co., N.J., married MARGARET SHAFFER ca. 1794 in Little Georgetown, Berkeley, Co., Va., died ca. 1839 (Figure 6).

The index to the 1820 census for Berkeley Co., Va., lists a Job Throckmorton on p. 104. On 31 Aug. 1822 for $2,500 Job bought by deed of trust two tracts of land containing 149 acres and 96½ acres on the east side of Back Creek from Isaac & Mary Clawson (Figure 6A).¹⁹ On 15 Apr. 1839 Job’s heirs, Thomas, John & William Throckmorton, sold their interest in two tracts of land containing 262 acres.²⁰

The children of Job & Margaret Throckmorton were:

1. JOHN THROCKMORTON, born 179_.

2. SAMUEL THROCKMORTON.

3. WILLIAM THROCKMORTON may have been living in Hocking Co., Ohio, in 1826 when a William Throckmorton was listed in the Hocking Co. Tax List for Salt Creek Twp. with 1 horse valued at $40 for a total tax of $0.36.

4. JOB THROCKMORTON, born 1801/2 in Little Georgetown, Berkeley Co., Va., married ELIZABETH SHAFFER 6 Apr. 1826 in Martinsburg, Berkeley Co. In the 1827 Hocking Co. Tax List for Salt Creek Twp. Job was listed with 1 horse and 1 cattle valued at $48 for a total tax of $0.48. In the 1830 Tax List he was recorded as owning 1 horse and 1 cattle valued at $56 for a total tax of $0.68.

Margaret was born in 1808 and died in 1878 in Springfield, Ohio. She was a daughter of James & Margaret Shaffer. In 1839 Thomas & Margaret were living in Allen Co., Ohio.

In the 1850 census for Duchouquet Twp., Auglaize co., Ohio, Thomas Throgmorton was head of the following household:

The following comes from one of Dr. Throckmorton’s many press articles:

"When, some time ago, former President Roosevelt succeeded in making a military ride of 96 miles in a single day, he was justly regarded as having performed no ordinary feat. Pres. Roosevelt is still a comparatively young man, and it would hardly be expected that any but a young man would be able to equal or surpass him in long-distance riding. However, a 65 year old gentleman, Dr. J. A. Throckmorton, of Sidney, Ohio, has far outdone our famous and strenuous retired executive. Dr. Throckmorton in one day rode three horses in relays from Sidney, through Piqua, to Troy, Ohio, twenty-one miles and return, three times, or one hundred and twenty-six miles in all. The actual time in the saddle was 12 hours and 36 minutes. Two of his horses made 21 miles each, one horse made 32 miles and the Kentucky black charger made 52 miles, in four relays of 13 miles each, in 200 minutes, smashing all records of any horse in history. On the day of his long ride, Dr. Throckmorton weighed 130 pounds. Before starting on it, he prayed for protection and guidance, and to this he attributes his success. . . . Although the day ended rainy and muddy, the doctor was greeted by large crowds along the route. And on his return to Sidney on the last trip he was welcomed by a brass band. . . . .The result was telegraphed to Pres. Roosevelt."
