John Throckmorton (died 1624)

He wrote many letters to Lisle describing the business of the garrison and political news which he discussed with travelling diplomats including Robert Anstruther and Stephen Lesieur.

[2] He joked with Lisle that providing a dowry for his daughter Philippa Sidney on her marriage to Sir John Hobart would leave him out of pocket.

Throckmorton was uncertain how much ceremony he should to diplomats, and arranged a "fair guard" of soldiers at the gate of the fort for Foscarini.

[6] Throckmorton was concerned by an arms dealer Antonis Antonison, nicknamed "Moy" or handsome, who was smuggling cannon made in Cardiff against custom restrictions and selling them to the Dutch East India Company.

[9] In February 1615 he spoke to Anne Herbert, the widow of Sir William Stanley's son, and her four daughters, who were travelling by coach from Veere to Antwerp.
