While on military service in Ireland, in 1612 Edward Trevor married as his second wife Rose, a daughter of Henry Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh and his second wife Mary Smith, and acquired an estate in County Down which was renamed Rostrevor, incorporating his own name. He was knighted in 1617 and built the mansion of Brynkynallt on his estates at Chirk in 1619.

In 1622 he was appointed High Sheriff of Denbighshire and in 1634 was elected Member of Parliament for Newtown, Montgomeryshire.
