I have moved this from the main article, where his daughter-in-law's partial descent (from Lettice Knollys) adds little. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikibiohistory (talkcontribs) 02:34, 7 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Notable daughter-in law

edit

His second son George Fitzroy, Earl of Euston was married to Lady Dorothy Boyle, daughter of Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington and Lady Dorothy Saville. Dorothy was daughter of William Savile, 2nd Marquess of Halifax and Mary Finch.

Mary was daughter of Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham and Lady Essex Rich. Essex was daughter of Robert Rich, 3rd Earl of Warwick and Anne Cheeke. Anne was daughter of Sir Thomas Cheeke of Pirgo and a senior Essex Rich.

The elder Essex was daughter of Robert Rich, 1st Earl of Warwick and Penelope Devereux, Lady Rich. Essex was probably named after her maternal grandfather Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex. Her maternal grandmother was Lettice Knollys.
