He was the son of Thomas Hendley (1554–1590), Lord of the Manor of Coursehorn at Cranbrook, Kent, and his first wife Anne, daughter of Henry Bowyer and his wife Elizabeth Vaux.[1] He married Elizabeth, daughter of John Wilford (1547–1605) and his wife Elizabeth Cordall, the ceremony being on 28 February 1597 at the church of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate in the City of London.[2]
