In addition, there was a daughter, Margery. Born c. 1625, who married Edward Dudley of Clopton and had at least one child. She is never mentioned by Digby in his writings. She may have been the daughter of [[Edward Sackville, 4th Earl of Dorset|Edward Sackville]], 4th Earl of Dorset and Venetia Stanley prior to her marriage to Sir Kenelm. The Earl of Dorset settled an annuity on her.<ref name=Stain/> There is some controversy and confusion about whether or not Venetia had affairs with both the third and fourth Earls of Dorset and, consequently, which Earl was the father of Margery.<ref name=Venetia>{{cite book|title=Sir Kenelm Digby and His Venetia|date=1932}}</ref>
