Family
Perrot married twice:
- to Anne Chayney of Kent, who bore his son and heir Thomas
- to Jane Pruet of Hartland in Devonshire, who bore him a son, William Perrot, and two daughters:
- Anne, who married Sir John Phillips, 1st Baronet, of Picton Castle, ancestor of the Viscount St Davids
- 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:
“Realizing that his time was nearly spent, he gave full oral instructions about his burial and the manner in which he wished to be remembered.... A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’”

“The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
“Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
