Sun Quan
Sun Quan had ten wives/concubines: Lady Xie; Lady Yuan; Lady Zhao; Lady Xu; Empress Dayi, née Wang; Consort Xie; Consort Zhong; Empress Jinghuai, née Wang; Empress Pan; Bu Lianshi. Lady Yuan was Yuan Shu's daughter;(吳錄曰:袁夫人者,袁術女也,有節行而無子。權數以諸姬子與養之,輒不育。及步夫人薨,權欲立之。夫人自以無子,固辭不受。) Wu Lu annotation in Sanguozhi vol. 50.

Sun Quan's third daughter was married to Zhu Ju initially, but was later remarried to Liu Zuan.The Wu Li (吳歷) stated: "Liu Zuan originally married Sun Quan's middle daughter, who died early, so Liu Zuan took Sun Xiaohu (Sun Luyu) as his new wife." This suggests that Sun Quan had another daughter, apart from Sun Luban and Sun Luyu. Quote from Wu Li annotation in Sanguozhi vol. 50: (吳歷曰:纂先尚權中女,早卒,故又以小虎為繼室。)
Sun Deng
Sun Deng married Zhou Yu's daughter.(瑜兩男一女。女配太子登。) Sanguozhi vol. 54. He had three sons: Sun Fan, Sun Xi and Sun Ying.(子璠、希,皆早卒,次子英,封吳侯。) Sanguozhi vol. 59. It is unknown whether his three sons were born to Lady Zhou or not.

Sun He (Zixiao)
Sun He had two wives: Consort Zhang and Lady He. Consort Zhang was the daughter of Zhang Zhao's son Zhang Cheng and Zhuge Jin's daughter.(初,承喪妻,昭欲為索諸葛瑾女,承以相與有好,難之,權聞而勸焉,遂為婚。生女,權為子和納之。權數令和脩敬於承,執子壻之禮。) Sanguozhi vol. 52. Lady He was the daughter of He Sui.(孫和何姬,丹楊句容人也。父遂,本騎士。) Sanguozhi vol. 50.
Sun He had four sons – Sun Jun, Sun Hao, Sun De and Sun Qian(吳歷曰:和四子:皓、德、謙、俊。) Wu Li annotation in Sanguozhi vol. 59. – and one daughter, whose name is unknown. Sun Hao was born to Lady He,(己丑,封孫皓為烏程侯,皓弟德錢唐侯,謙永安侯。) Sanguozhi vol. 48. Sun Jun and the daughter were born to Consort Zhang,(吳歷曰: ... 俊,張承外孫, ...) Wu Li annotation in Sanguozhi vol. 59.(景妻,孫皓適妹,與景俱張承外孫也。) Sanguozhi vol. 58. while the identities of the mothers of Sun De and Sun Qian are unknown.(吳歷曰:谦独坐车中,遂生获之。(丁)固不敢杀,以状告皓,皓酖之,母子皆死。) Wu Li annotation in Sanguozhi vol. 59. Sun He's daughter married Lu Jing, the son of Lu Kang (Lu Xun's son) and Lady Zhang (another daughter of Zhang Cheng). Both Sun He's daughter and Lu Jing were therefore Zhang Cheng's maternal grandchildren.
Sun Hao (Yuanzong)
Sun Hao had three wives. Two of them were Zhang Bu's daughters.(江表傳曰:皓以張布女為美人,有寵,皓問曰:「汝父所在?」荅曰:「賊以殺之。」皓大怒,棒殺之。後思其顏色,使巧工刻木作美人形象,恒置座側。問左右:「布復有女否?」荅曰:「布大女適故衞尉馮朝子純。」即奪純妻入宮,大有寵,拜為左夫人, ...) Jiang Biao Zhuan annotation in Sanguozhi vol. 50. The third one was Teng Mu's daughter Teng Fanglan.(孫皓滕夫人,故太常胤之族女也。胤夷滅,夫人父牧,以踈遠徙邊郡。) Sanguozhi vol. 50.
Sun Hao's biography in the Sanguozhi stated:
Wang Jun's biography in the Jin Shu confirmed the identity of the "Prince of Lu" as Sun Qian.(皓乃備亡國之禮, ... 率其偽太子瑾、瑾弟魯王虔等二十一人, ...) Jin Shu vol. 42. The biography of Emperor Yuan in the Jin Shu mentioned Sun Hao's son Sun Fan,(故歸命侯孫皓子璠謀反,伏誅。) Jin Shu vol. 6. while the biography of Zhou Chu mentioned Sun Hao's son Sun Chong.(初,吳興人錢璯亦起義兵討陳敏, ... 璯遂殺度支校尉陳豐,焚燒邸閣,自號平西大將軍、八州都督,劫孫皓子充,立為吳王,既而殺之。) Jin Shu vol. 58. 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.
