Wrightson married Anne daughter of Robert Burdett and sister of Sir Robert Burdett, Bt of Foremarke Hall, Derbyshire by whom he had one son and four daughters.
His heir was Francis Noel Clarke Mundy. He owned estates at Markeaton Hall, Derbyshire and Osbaston Hall, Leicestershire adjacent to the estate of Wolstan Dixie, 4th Baronet of Market Bosworth, with whom Wrightson Mundy reportedly came to blows. One of Mundy"s daughters married Robert, seventh Earl Ferrers whilst Millicent married Captain French and had a portrait by Joseph Wright of Derby.
Wrightson Mundy"s grandchildren therefore included Richard Forrester French of Abbot"s Hill in Derbyshire.
There is a portrait of Mundy in Derby Museum and Art Gallery by an unknown artist.
