Throop's grandfather was George B. Throop, a New York state senator and later Michigan state representative; her great uncle Enos T. Throop was the governor of New York from 1829 to 1832. In 1894 she married lawyer Samuel H. Ordway (1860-1934) (brother of businessman Lucius Pond Ordway, nephew of composer John Pond Ordway) and ended her painting career.[4][3] Samuel Ordway and Frances Throop Ordway had two children, Frances Hanson Ordway (1898-1903) and Samuel Hanson Ordway, Jr. (1900-1971).
