Marriage

John Betts married, almost certainly, Mary Biggs about 1600. They had the following children:

• John Betts, bpt at West Peckham 4 Jan 1600/1; was alive in 1619/20 at the time of his father's will, but presumably died without issue before 3 May 1638, since he was not mentioned in any of the Bigge wills. Therefore, he was not any of the John Bettses who immigrated to the New World.
• Alexander Betts, 1603-1605
• William Betts, 1605-1607
• Mary Betts, 1610-bef 1638
