He was commissioned into the British Army and was promoted to captain and later Lieutenant-Colonel in the 1st Foot Guards in 1758.[1]

Treby entered the House of Commons for Plympton Erle at a by-election in 1761 to replace his elder brother, George III Treby.[2] However, he died in 1763. He was replaced at the following by-election by his brother-in-law, Paul Henry Ourry (1719-1783), who also inherited the Treby family's residence, Plympton House.
