Personal life

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

• Sir Roger Martin, 3rd Baronet (1682 - 12 June 1762), who married Sophia Mordaunt, daughter of the honourable Brigadier General Lewis Mordaunt of Massingham in Norfolk.
• Richard Martin (1691 - After 1710)

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.
