He was buried in a Catholic cemetery in Agra, India. The following e-mail refers to his ambassadorship to India: "I was also interested in Sir John Mildenhall as I first heard of him from a picture in an old Book of Knowledge showing Queen Elizabeth sending him off to India in 1599. No mention is given of him in the text of the book so I'm interested in any info you have on him. We do not know his wife's full name. Her first name was Elizabeth. They had at least one child,Thomas Mendenhall, who is my direct ancestor. John Mendenhall also had two illegitimate children, a son and a daughter, to a Persian woman .There are apparently references to John Mendenhall in the historical records of the British East India Company."
