He married firstly on 4 August 1632 (when both were children, he was about 11), Mary daughter of Thomas Smith of Soley in Chilton Foliat, a village north west of Hungerford, on the border of Berkshire and Wiltshire. By her he had one daughter, Frances[1].
He married secondly in 1654, Elizabeth Alington (baptised 1635, died 1691), daughter of William Alington, 1st Baron Alington of Killard (14 March 1610/11, d. c. October 1648). They had three children.
Both of Charles's sons, Francis and Charles, ultimately succeeded to the dukedom of Somerset, his own father having been a younger brother of William Seymour, 2nd Duke of Somerset. His daughter, Honora Seymour, married Sir Charles Gerard, 3rd Baronet.[2]
Charles Seymour was succeeded in the barony by his elder son, Francis.
