Sir John married Frances, daughter of Sir John Ferrers of Tamworth, with whom he had two children, a son
John (1620–1680), who succeeded to the title, and one daughter (Elizabeth), who married, first, Colonel Henry Washington, and, secondly,
Samuel Sandys of Ombersley in Worcestershire. His widow, Frances, married at St. Antholin, Budge Row, London, on 29 December 1626, "Mr. Robert Leasly, gent." The similarity of name may account for the incorrect statement sometimes made that she became the second wife of
Alexander Leslie, 1st Earl of Leven. However, the bridegroom in question was in fact Robert Leslie, son of
Patrick Leslie, 1st Lord Lindores. ==Notes==
