His younger brother was William Throckmorton (who married Frances Giffard and was the father of Sir Robert Throckmorton, 8th Baronet).[5]
His father was the eldest surviving son of Sir Robert Throckmorton, 4th Baronet and, his first wife, Lady Theresa Herbert (a daughter of William Herbert, 2nd Marquess of Powis and the former Mary Preston).[6] His maternal grandparents were William Paston of Horton Court and Mary (née Courtenay) Paston.[5] Through his father's marriage to his mother, the Throckmorton family acquired the Manor of Molland in Devon.[1]
