Family
Prideaux was twice married: first, to a daughter of Collins of Ottery St Mary, Devonshire; and, secondly, to Mary, daughter of Every of Cottey in Somerset. By the latter he had one son, to whom John Tillotson, afterwards archbishop, was tutor. The son took part in Monmouth's rebellion, and bribed Judge Jeffreys heavily to save his life.
