Sir Thomas Cann had the following children:

Notes:

From Trinity College Bristol, 1650-1765 Cann family

The estate was bought in the 1650s by Sir William Cann. Stoke House was built by his son, Sir Robert Cann Bt, probably on the site of an existing property; some of the buildings on the site pre-date Stoke House, which was completed in 1669. This date is inscribed in stone above the front door of the house, and the Cann coat of arms can be seen above the carved stone doorway.
