A juvenile play of his, ''The Conspiracy'', was printed surreptitiously in 1638 , and in an authenticated version in 1653 as ''Pallantus and Eudora''.

He married Judith and had three children:

  • Henry Killigrew (d. 1712), an admiral

  • James Killigrew, also a naval officer, who was killed in an encounter with the French in January 1695

  • Anne Killigrew (1660-1685), poet and painter, who was maid of honour to the duchess of York, and was the subject of an ode by Dryden , which Samuel Johnson thought the noblest in the language.
