Two children survived her; William, born 24 June, 1649, and Anne, born 7 May, 1654. William adopted his father's profession, and became a physician. He married Margaret, widow of William Rogers, by whom he had one child, a daughter. He died, together with his wife and child, in the terrible visitation of small pox in the winter of 1677-78. Anne was married to Francis Davenport, whom she survived twenty years, dying in 1697.
