http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Corbet#Marriage_and_family

Reginald Corbet married Alice Gratewood, daughter of John Gratewood of Wollerton, at Hodnet[5] on 23 August 1546.[1] Her uncle, Sir Rowland Hill, the first Protestant Lord Mayor of London, died without issue in 1561. He had used some of his immense wealth to buy estates in his native Shropshire and the neighbouring counties, most of them on the market because of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. These he left to his two nieces.[6] Alice inherited large estates that made herself and Reginald Corbet wealthy and secure for the latter part of their lives. On Alice's death, the estates were listed as the manors of Drayton, Adderley, Stoke upon Tern, Hales, Almington and Blore, the village of Child's Ercall and granges at Cliffe, Tern Hill, Burnhill and Cheethill.

Corbet and Alice had six sons and five daughters.[1][13]
