Matthew Sausmarez (1685-1778) married Anne Durell, the daughter of a wealthy Jerseyman at St. Helier in Jersey on 1 January 1705. With the money she brought to the marriage, Matthew built a privateer. It is remarkable that while pursuing piracy at sea he had a career as an advocate. This couple had 11 children as shown in the pedigree in the appendix.

Matthew's eldest son, Jean or John was also an advocate. His second son, Philip, born in 1710, was the first of the family to serve in the Royal Navy. He was on Commodore Anson's trip to the Far East in H.M.S. Centurion in the 1740s. This was an expedition that was remarkable for two reasons - the great mortality from scurvy and the immense treasure brought back from the capture of a Spanish galleon off Manilla. Anson's share of the prize secured the fortune of his family in Staffordshire, allowing the building of the present Shugborough Hall, the family home of the late Lord Lichfield, the photographer. Philip Sausmarez was subsequently killed in a naval action with the French on 4 October 1747. His prize money helped the family buy back the manor from Charles Andros. There is a memorial to him in Westminster Abbey. Philip's brother, Thomas, was a naval captain from 1748. He captured the French vessel, Belliqeux, in the Bristol Channel and commanded her in the West Indies in 1861. He died in 1766.
