Sir John Fagg Bt
Member of the England Parliament for Rye
In office 1644–1645 Servingwith William Hay

Fagg married first Mary Morley and with her had sixteen children, of whom only five lived long enough to be married. ^[1] After her death, he married second Anne, daughter of Philip Weston of Newbury in Berkshire and widow of Thomas Henshaw of Billingshurst in Sussex. He was succeeded by Sir Robert Fagge, 2nd Baronet, his eldest surviving son.

Fagg was an acquaintance of William Penn ^[8] and he may have been a distant relative. ^[9]

In 1702 a large tract of undeveloped land owned by the Penn family in Chester County, Pennsylvania, was named Faggs Manor in his honor. ^[10] The unincorporated hamlet of Faggs Manor, Pennsylvania still carries the name.
