Son of William Throope and Isabel Redshaw.
William married Mary Chapman, 14 May 1666, daughter of Ralph and Lydia (Wells) Chapman. They had at least 8 children:
-Mary Throope (1667-1728)
-Daniel Throope (1670-1737)
-Elizabeth Throope (1671-1729)
-John Throope (1676-1772)
-William Throope (1678-1737)
-Thomas Throope (1681-1756)
-Mercy Throope (abt.1684-1756)
-Lydia (1868-1761)
After immigrating to the Plymouth Colony he lived in Barnstable, MA and was a grand juryman in 1680. That same year he moved to Bristol, which was then in Plymouth Colony. He was one of the first who settled there after its purchase by four proprietors in Boston. In Bristol he served as surveyor of highways 1683, selectman 1689, grand juryman 1690, and Rhode Islad Assembly Representative from Bristol 1691. He died 4 Dec 1704 and was buried in the East Burial Ground in Bristol, MA. His wife died 6 Jun 1732 and was buried beside him.
There has been connection to the Scroope family, but it was tracked down and documented as incorrect. All families with this tradition track back to Rev. Benjamin Throope. The two families were over 100 miles apart in England and both had children baptized within 2 months time---indicating any relationship is impossible.
