John Perrot - Family

Family

Perrot married twice:

  1. to Anne Chayney of Kent, who bore his son and heir Thomas
  2. to Jane Pruet of Hartland in Devonshire, who bore him a son, William Perrot, and two daughters:
    1. Anne, who married Sir John Phillips, 1st Baronet, of Picton Castle, ancestor of the Viscount St Davids
    2. Lettice, who married Sir Arthur Chichester

In March 1593, some four months after his death, the attainder on his property was lifted so that his son Thomas - who had married a daughter of Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex (and who thus became a brother-in-law of Elizabeth's favourite Essex) - could inherit.

Perrot also fathered bastard children. The best known, Sir James Perrott (1571–1637), produced the manuscript The life, deedes and death of Sir John Perrott, knight (published in 1728). A son John, born about 1565, appears in an entry in the Inner Temple Register dated 5 June 1583: "John Perot, of Haryve, Co. Pembroke, 3rd son of John Perot, Knight". A daughter Elizabeth, who married Hugh Butler of Johnston, was the granddaughter of Sir Christopher Hatton, later enemy of Sir John.

Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “You can read the best experts on child care. You can listen to those who have been there. You can take a whole childbirth and child-care course without missing a lesson. But you won’t really know a thing about yourselves and each other as parents, or your baby as a child, until you have her in your arms. That’s the moment when the lifelong process of bringing up a child into the fold of the family begins.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)

    “I duly acknowledge that I have gone through a long life, with fewer circumstances of affliction than are the lot of most men. Uninterrupted health, a competence for every reasonable want, usefulness to my fellow-citizens, a good portion of their esteem, no complaint against the world which has sufficiently honored me, and above all, a family which has blessed me by their affections, and never by their conduct given me a moment’s pain.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”
    —Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
