However other sources identify Susanna Thorne as the mother of Thomas.
Anthony and Magdalene had eleven children:
In 1639, Anthony succeeded his childless second cousin, once removed Henry Grey, 8th Earl of Kent as Earl of Kent. Henry was a great-grandson of Henry Grey, 4th Earl of Kent, another son of the 2nd Earl.
