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:

    “A fellow oughtn’t to let his family property go to pieces.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “A poem is like a person. Though it has a family tree, it is important not because of its ancestors but because of its individuality. The poem, like any human being, is something more than its most complete analysis. Like any human being, it gives a sense of unified individuality which no summary of its qualities can reproduce; and at the same time a sense of variety which is beyond satisfactory final analysis.”
    —Donald Stauffer (b. 1930)

    “In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.””
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
