Personal life edit

Some time before 1689 Sir Roger married Anna-Marie Harvey (d. 15 May 1739) and by her had 2 sons:

The heraldic visitation of Suffolk in 1561 shows a third child:

  • Elizabeth Martin, who married a gentleman called "Rookwood", who may have been a relation through her aunt Tamworth Martin who married Thomas Rookwood of Coldham Hall in Suffolk.

Sir Roger died on 3 March 1742, when his title passed to his eldest son.
