context_page_description: Roger Pepys was an English lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1661 to 1678. He is chiefly remembered as Samuel Pepys's "Cousin Roger". He and his children appear regularly in Samuel's great Diary. Relations between the two men were always good.
context_section_description: Pepys married four times. He married firstly Anne Banks, daughter of Luke Banks of Beck Hall, Giggleswick, North Yorkshire. He married secondly Barbara Bacon, daughter of Francis Bacon of Norwich  and had four sons and two daughters. Through his third wife Parnele Duke, daughter of John Duke, of Worlingham, Suffolk, he inherited the Manor of Diss, Norfolk. He married fourthly  Esther Conyers, widow of Rev.  Richard Conyers and daughter of Bernard Dickenson of Westminster. His cousin Samuel liked Esther greatly for her cheerfulness and good nature: "an understanding  and good woman".
  His  younger son John was later MP for Cambridge. His eldest son Talbot (died 1681), a barrister,  and his daughters Bab and Betty were referred to in the diary of his cousin Samuel, as was their stepmother Esther. Bab married Thomas Gale, high master of St. Paul's School, London and   Dean of York, and Betty married Charles Long, Vicar of Risby.  Samuel Pepys was fond of  both Bab and Betty,  although he grumbled at the cost of  entertaining them   during their visit  to his London  house in February 1669.
