Barton: "DANIEL THROCKMORTON [CWT, 222; FGS, 101 & 376; LBS, 8] born 1734/1736 in Freehold, Monmouth Co., N.J., baptized 9 Feb. 1746,75 married RACHEL [-?-], died 26 Sep. 1798 in Hampshire Co., Va. Rachel was born ca. 1751.76 FGS, p. 101, has the following to say regarding Daniel Throckmorton: DANIEL THROCKMORTON (Job 20, Job 7, John 1), b. Freehold, N.J., about 1734/36. By will of aunt, Sarah T. Nichols, he gets, 1755, money and a bay mare. Named in will of his brother Thomas Throckmorton, 1763, as owning half interest in "moveable estate," at Roxbury, Morris Co., N.J. No other mention discoverable of him. Probably married and went to Hampshire Co., Va., with his brothers: William and Lewis, and there died soon afterwards as his name is not found in "Heads of Families, Va., 1782 & 1784" (Census). He was presumably the father of the children given below, who were born in Hampshire Co., Va., and early left orphans. DANIEL,* b. 12 Oct. 1773, Hampshire Co., Va. (Bible). RACHEL, b._______; m. Mr. Cooper and all trace lost. * The parents of Daniel and Rachel are conjectural. They may have been children of Lewis Throckmorton, brother of Daniel Sr. But whatever their father’s name, Job and Frances (Stout) Throckmorton were surely their grandparents. The name "Daniel" has not been found in the Virginia branch of the family in the early generations. And in the New Jersey line it first appears in the family of Job and Frances (Stout) Throckmorton and was apparently confined to this one branch of Throckmortons for nearly a century. This, in connection with the fact that several of the sons of Job and Frances migrated to Virginia, leads to this assumption, for such it is, that their son Daniel, Sr., also "went into Va." and was the father of the above children. JES, on p. 102, makes the following comments: DANIEL THROCKMORTON, son of Job Throckmorton, 27, was mentioned in the will of Sarah Nichols, and in the will of his brother Thomas Throckmorton, in 1763. 1764, December. Samuel Buttler vs Daniel Throckmorton. £17. 1765, July. Daniel Throckmorton, a creditor, in Jacob Mitchel vs Charles Richards, for £80-17-9. (Morris County Court Records)."
