Thutmose never called himself "Son of the King", hence is believed to be born in non-royal family, to a woman named [[Senseneb]] and an unknown father.<ref>Cooney, Kara (2016). Hatszepsut. Kobieta która została królem [The Woman Who Would be King] (in Polish). WAB. p. 37. ISBN 978-83-280-2771-8.

</ref> [[Queen Ahmose]], who held the title of [[Great Royal Wife]] of Thutmose, was probably the daughter of [[Ahmose I]] and the sister of Amenhotep I;<ref name="Gardiner 176">Gardiner 1964 p. 176</ref> but she was never called "king's daughter," so there is some doubt about this, and some historians believe she was Thutmose's sister.<ref name="[[Bleiberg]] 400">[[Bleiberg]] (2000) p.400</ref> Assuming she was related to Amenhotep, one might speculate that she was married to Thutmose in order to guarantee succession. This is known not to be the case for two reasons. First, Amenhotep's alabaster bark built at [[Karnak]] associates Amenhotep's name with Thutmose's name well before Amenhotep's death.<ref name="Grimal 203">Grimal (1988) p.203</ref> Second, Thutmose's first-born son with Ahmose, [[Amenmose (prince)|Amenmose]], was apparently born long before Thutmose's coronation. He can be seen on a stela from Thutmose's fourth regnal year hunting near Memphis, and he became the "great army-commander of his father" sometime before his death, which was no later than Thutmose's own death in his 12th regnal year.<ref name="Gardiner 179">Gardiner (1964) p.179</ref> Thutmose had another son, [[Wadjmose]], and two daughters, [[Hatshepsut]] and [[Nefrubity]], by Ahmose. Wadjmose died before his father, and Nefrubity died as an infant.<ref name="Steindorff 36">Steindorff (1942) p.36</ref> 

Thutmose had also one son by his another wife, [[Mutnofret]], who was likely a daughter of [[Ahmose I]] and a sister of [[Amenhotep I]].<ref>Dodson & Hilton 2004: 126, 131</ref> This son succeeded him as [[Thutmose II]], whom Thutmose I married to his daughter, Hatshepsut.<ref name="Steindorff 36"/> It was later recorded by Hatshepsut that Thutmose willed the kingship to both Thutmose II and Hatshepsut, but this is considered propaganda by Hatshepsut's supporters to legitimise her claim to the throne when she later assumed power.<ref>Erman (1894) p.43</ref>
