He was succeeded by his niece Mary Levett, daughter of his sister Susanna and husband of John Levett, barrister of the Inner Temple.[https://books.google.com/books?id=yno4AAAAIAAJ&dq=john+levett+ward+brereton&pg=PA308 Collections for a History of Staffordshire, Vol. I, William Salt Archaeological Society, Houghton and Hammond, Birmingham, 1880]
