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.
