His Daughter Dorothea would appear to have died in December 1662 according to Pepy's Diary the strange burning of Mr. De Laun, a merchant’s house in Loathbury, and his lady (Sir Thomas Allen’s daughter) and her whole family; not one thing, dog nor cat, escaping; nor any of the neighbours almost hearing of it till the house was quite down and burnt. How this should come to pass, God knows, but a most strange thing it is! (Pepy's Diary 29th December 1662).
Alice married Edmund Anguish, esquire of Moulton.
