¹The identity of the father of Sun Jian, Sun Qiang and Sun Jing is not historically attested. Their father's name was not recorded in the historical text Sanguozhi. However, the Yu Lin (語林), a collection of short stories by Pei Qi (裴啟), mentioned that Sun Hao was a great-great-grandson of Sun Zhong (孫鍾). Since Sun Hao was a great-grandson of Sun Jian, it is deduced that Sun Zhong was Sun Jian's father.^[6]

(25 other sons, names unknown.)

Sun Hao had three wives. Two of them were Zhang Bu's daughters.^[44] The third one was Teng Mu's daughter Teng Fanglan.^[45]

Sun Hao's biography in the Sanguozhi stated:

In 269, Sun Hao instated his son Sun Jin as crown prince, as well as instating the princes of Huaiyang and Dongping. ... In 273, he renamed "Prince of Huaiyang" and "Prince of Dongping" to "Prince of Lu" and "Prince of Qi" respectively. He also instated the princes of Chenliu and Zhangling, and seven other princes, making 11 princes (including Lu and Qi) in total. ... In 278, he instated the princes of Chengji and Xuanwei, and nine other princes. ... In 280, he instated the princes of Zhongshan and Dai, and nine other princes.^[46]

Wang Jun's biography in the Jin Shu confirmed the identity of the "Prince of Lu" as Sun Qian.^[47] The biography of Emperor Yuan in the Jin Shu mentioned Sun Hao's son Sun Fan,^[48] while the biography of Zhou Chu mentioned Sun Hao's son Sun Chong.^[49] It might be possible that Sun Fan and Sun Chong were among the 32 sons (seven of whom were known by their princely titles), apart from Sun Jin and the Prince of Lu (Sun Qian), mentioned in Sun Hao's biography. Otherwise, Sun Hao would have had 36 sons in total.

There are no records of Sun Hao's daughters nor any records of the identities of the mothers of his sons.
