His Legacy
Whalley was married twice.
He married firstly, on 7 February 1626 at St Dunstan's Church, Stepney, Judith Duffell (or Duffield) of Rochester, Kent, by whom, besides other children, he had a son John and a daughter Frances (who married William Goffe, another regicide).
He married secondly, Mary Middleton, sister of Sir George Middleton, by whom he had two sons, Henry and Edward.
Whalley was commemorated with a New Haven street named for him, as were the other two Regicides who found refuge in New Haven: Whalley Avenue, Dixwell Avenue, and Goffe Street diverge from a complex of intersections lying at the northwest end of Broadway.
