Thomas Killigrew had two brothers, both dramatic writers, viz.,
Sir William Killigrew,[191] author of Ormasdes, Pandora,
Selindra, and The Siege of Urbin;[192] and Dr Henry Killigrew, a
clergyman, author of a play called The Conspiracy, printed in 4^o,

the title of Pallantus and Eudora.
Dr Henry Killigrew was father to Mrs Ann Killigrew, a young lady
