Sir Hugh de Cressey II was succeeded by his son,  Sir Roger de Cressey (time period about 1346), who was Lord of Hodsack, York, England.   Sir Roger married Isabel, daughter and heir of Sir Hubert de Rie.  This union had at least one daughter Elizabeth de Cressey born 1378. 

   Elizabeth de Cressey married Sir John Markham 1368 - 1409. (Lord of East Markham son of Robert Markham 1322 and  Isabel Caunton 1355).   This union produced at least one son, 

Robert Markham 1406.   

     The wills of Sir Hugh and Sir John are held at the Lincoln Episcopal register.

     A recumbent figure lies in the Church at Surfleet, tradition says it is that of Sir Roger de Cressey, former Lord of Hodsack, although some say it is that of Sir Hugh de Cressey, Knight and Baron.  The reason for the contradiction is the fact that the coat of armour warned by the effigy is in the style of 14th Century making it more than likely to be that of Sir Hugh.
