married LYDIA WEST, 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" Stillwell records the following marriage of John: "79 John Throckmorton ; eldest son [of '27 JOB THROCKMORTON , son of Job Throckmorton , 5, married Frances (Stout?)']" to Sarah Holmes, i.e., "29 REBECCA THROCKMORTON , daughter of Job Throckmorton, 5, [had issue] 96 Sarah Holmes married her cousin John Throckmorton, 79." Elsewhere, however, he records Sarah Holmes' marriage to John, son of John and Mary (Stillwell) Throckmorton, not the John, son of Job and Frances Throckmorton; this marriage had been recorded in a family Bible as "John and Mary Throckmorton --children: ... John Throckmorton born Thursday 20 February 1718; married Sarah Holmes ...." The marriage to Lydia West is thus most likely the correct one for John son of Job.
