He was the eldest son of George II Treby (c.1684–1742), of Plympton House, Plympton St Maurice, MP for the family's Rotten Borough of Plympton Erle. He inherited Plympton House on his father's death in 1742.

Treby entered the House of Commons for the family's Rotten Borough of Plympton Erle at a by-election in 1747 to replace Richard Edgcumbe, who had chosen to sit for another borough.{{cite book | title=A History of the Borough of Plympton Erle | first=Joshua Brooking | last=Rowe | publisher=J.G.

A government supporter, he was returned again at the 1754 and 1761 elections, but probably did not take his seat after the latter, as he died in November 1761. In the ensuing by-election, he was replaced by his younger brother George Hele Treby (c.1727-1763).
