Ayloffe married three times. Firstly, about 1611, to Alice, daughter of Martin Archdale. She died and was buried on 28 November 1612, at Hornchurch, they had no children. He remarried on 9 May 1616, at Barking, Essex, to Margaret (she was 5th daughter of
Thomas Fanshawe, of Jenkins in Barking,
remembrancer of the exchequer, and sister to Sir
Henry Fanshawe). They had one daughter: Catharine, who married Thomas Hardwick, of Leeds, in Yorkshire and three sons: •
William, his son and heir; •
Benjamin, who succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his brother; • Henry, who had to wife, Dorothy (daughter and heir of Richard Bulkeley, of Chedle, in Cheshire), and was father to
Sir John Ayloffe, of Stanford-Rivers, in Essex. It has been claimed that a fourth son, John Aylett, emigrated to America based on a series of letters discovered by W.W. Fontaine among Aylett family papers in Virginia, the originals of which have disappeared. Noted genealogist
Lothrop Withington commented that although these letters could be authentic, there are some strong reasons to suspect that they could have been forgeries that were planted to fool Fontaine, who was an avid family historian. Ayloffe's third marriage was to Margaret, sister of
George Porter. She remarried John Wall, of St. Clement Danes, Middlesex and died 1682. ==Notes==
