3. She had six Children Sarah, Joseph, Martha, Susan, Thomas J. and John Felix.The first two being born in MS before 1835 the last three born in Montgomery Co AR.

4. She died in 1848 (according to Thomas J Rawls application to the Dawes Commission.) when her youngest was 2 years old and is the first person buried in Lowe Cemetery in Garland Co AR.

5. Her tombstone states: "Sarah Throgmartin Rawls d.1852, First person buried in Lowe Cemetery" (It has been speculated that she died prior to 1852 as she is not on the Hot Springs, AR 1850 census pg. 305, with John C Rawls and her children.... and the tombstone is relatively new... It think it was put in place in the 1970's)

this excerpt is from . A genealogical and historical account of the Throckmorton family in England and the United States. by: Throckmorton, Charles Wickliffe, Richmond: pg. 332

G-129 Robert Throckmorton ( Robert, Gabriel, John, Robert) b.Nov. 20 1736 in Culpeper County VA. Student of William and Mary College in 1754. Justice of the Peace in Culpeper County, 1769. Married June 16, 1757, Lucy, dau. of Capt. Mordecai Throckmorton of King and Queen County, VA and his wife Mary Reade.
Issue:
1. Robert Throckmorton- b May 1758 moved to LA, now Jefferson County, Miss and was in partnership there with his brother, Lewis.
2. Mary Throckmorton- b. march 6 1760
3. Mordecai Throckmorton- b. May 2, 1758; moved to LA and was living in Jefferson County in1792 (now Mississippi), near Church Hill in Villa Gayso. He was a Justice of the Peace in 1800. Moved to Claiborne County, Miss., and built a hotel called the Red Tavern. married Elizabeth______________.
4. Frances Throckmorton- b. Feb 2 1765. Married Dec 20 1783, General William Madison of "Woodbury" Madison County VA ( brother of president Madison)

I know "Lucy" probably fits into this family. Mordecai and Robert are the most likely candidates. As they are the only Throckmorton's I have found that went to Mississippi in the right time/place frame.

So after all the sourcing I can find I am going to jump out on a limb and say that Lucy Throckmorton's Parents were Robert Throckmorton and Sarah Burney:

**On Thomas Rawls Application to the Dawes Commission he stated that his mother "Lucy Throckmorton" had brothers Lewis and Jim. (the 3 documented children of Robert and Sarah Throckmorton were Elizabeth, James and Lewis.)

** Issac Powers (Sarah Burney's 2nd husband) performed the marriage of Lucy Throckmorton and John C Rawls in Clairborne Co. MS on 26 August 1830.

**Lucy's first daughter was Named Sarah (most likely after her mother)

**The brothers of Robert Throckmorton who went to Mississippi both died before Lucy was born/concieved so it rules either of the brothers out as the Father.

**On the 1830 census on Isaac Powers w/Sarah Burney Throckmorton there is "1 female 15 thru 19" I am assuming it is my Lucy as  Isaac had no daughter that age. And Elizabeth was already married.

** There were no other Throckmortons in Mississippi during that time.

** We are linked through DNA to Elizabeth Throckmorton's descendant as 3rd to 5th cousins, now so that sort of seals it!
