Three children were baptized in St. Paul's Church, Canterbury, Isabella, 1586; Jane, 1589; and Ingle, 1599. Isabella was married in Leyden to Roger Chandler five years before The Mayflower sailed.

Zorzi had made a movement as if to hinder him, but he realised at once that he could not lay hands on his master's son.
