Biography

Rebecca Colville, was long suggested but unproven, to be the spouse of John Throckmorton (1601-1687). This was because of the will of Edward Colvill, Gent., of Bradford, Essex, England 1 Aug 1679 left a 6 pound legacy to "kinsmen" John Thockmorton of Middletown, NJ, New England.[1]

However kinsman is not son in law.

New discoveries have revealed that the wife of John Throckmorton was instead Rebecca Farrand[2]

Colville was never a proven surname for Rebecca. New (2002) has found John's wife to be Rebecca Farrand.I've added a short explanation to this profile.
