Sir William Throckmorton, 1st Baronet (1579–1628) was an English landowner and investor in the settlement of Virginia.
Having inherited his father's combative nature, he fought a duel with Walter Walsh of Little Sodbury.
[1] Shortly after inheriting his estate he had his manors of Tortworth, Charfield, and Cromhall Ligon valued for sale.
[3] By his first wife he had three children, who survived to adulthood: After Cicely's death he married Alice Morgan and Sarah Hale/Hall (d. 1636), whom Smyth described as his maids.
[2] When Sarah wrote her will she had four children, of whom only a daughter Mary is identified by the surname Throckmorton.
