Family
Slanning married Gertrude Bagge, daughter of Sir James Bagge of Little Saltram in 1625. They had two sons and two daughters. His son Nicholas (1643–1691) was granted a baronetcy by the restored monarchy. Following Slanning's death, Gertrude married Richard Arundell, 1st Baron Arundell of Trerice.
The Slanning family is first documented in 1538 and spanned nine generations until the extinction of the male line in 1700. It was granted or acquired land in Bickleigh, Walkhampton, Maybury, and Roborough, all near Plymouth.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.”
—Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)
