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:
“With a new familiarity and a flesh-creeping “homeliness” entirely of this unreal, materialistic world, where all “sentiment” is coarsely manufactured and advertised in colossal sickly captions, disguised for the sweet tooth of a monstrous baby called “the Public,” the family as it is, broken up on all hands by the agency of feminist and economic propaganda, reconstitutes itself in the image of the state.”
—Percy Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“If you have this enormous talent, it’s got you by the balls, it’s a demon. You can’t be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn’t that nice a guy.”
—Dustin Hoffman (b. 1937)
“For every family had one cat at least in the bag.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
