According to Maddison, Sothill had only one wife, who was reputedly the daughter of Sir Gerard Salvin. He must, however, have married twice, because his eldest son, Henry, was born in or before 1382, and Robert Wasselyn, the child of his widow’s first marriage, shortly before 1397 (C139/105/4; CCR, 1402-5, p. 169); Belvoir Castle deeds, 1824-5).
