Incidentally, Araki's daughter married Hideteru, grandchild of Yoriteru KAJIKAWA, who was known to have stopped Naganori ASANO during the sword fight in the castle, and due to this relationship, Araki's third son Masamichi changed his name to Uehide (上秀) KAJIKAWA, and was adopted to the Kajikawa family.
ちなみに荒木の娘は、殿中刃傷の際に浅野長矩を押し留めたことで有名な梶川頼照の孫秀照と結婚しており、またこの縁で荒木の三男政方も、梶川上秀と改名して、梶川家の養子に迎え入れられている。
