There were children from both marriages.
- Lady Isabella Rich (born 1623), who married Sir James Thynne (d. 1670), by whom she had no issue;
- Lady Susannah Rich (c.1628–1649), who married James Howard, 3rd Earl of Suffolk, and had children[3] and had surviving issue, one daughter Lady Essex Howard[4] through whom the barony Howard de Walden passed to her descendant John Griffin Whitwell, 1st Baron Braybrooke in 1784[5]
- Lady Diana Rich (d. 1658)
- Hon. Charles Rich (d. 1645)

- Hon. Cope Rich (1635–1676),[6] who had one child and was the grandfather of Edward Rich, 8th Earl of Warwick;
- Lady Mary Rich (c.1636–1666), who married John Campbell of Glenorchy, later Earl of Breadalbane and Holland, as his first wife, and had children.[7]
The countess's portrait was painted by William Larkin around the time of her marriage, and is held at Kenwood House in the care of English Heritage.[8]
Her husband, a Royalist, already in poor health, was executed in 1649.
