His sons Christoph Friedrich Willich (1610–1646) and Christian Martin Willich came from his marriage to Elisabeth Beutel / Butelius, who came from Breslau (the funeral sermon of the grandson of the same name says Anna Oertel from Augsburg) . Gottfried Willich comes from the second marriage with Margareta Knake.
