He was his father's executor in 1592. He m. first Rebecca the mother of most of his children, who was buried at ,Aston Clinton, 15 April, 1590. evidently dying in childbed of her sixth child and fifth son Sylvester. He married second at Aston Clinton. 6 July. 1590, Jane Hayle, less than three months after the death of his first wife.
Such hasty second marriages were common enough, and in his case was quite necessary, he being left with six very young children, and no sister or female relative to whom he could turn for assistance.
