He married Anna Pedersdatter, who was the daughter of Peder Hansen, Mayor of Helsingør, who himself had been ennobled in 1476 by King Christian I of Denmark.

Mogens Henriksen's sons Jørgen Mogensen Rosenvinge (1570–1634), Mayor of Odense, and Jens Mogensen Rosenvinge, City Manager of Odense, became the progenitors of, respectively, the Norwegian branch and the Danish branch of the family.

His daughter Susanne Kaasbøl Rosenvinge (1738–1771) married Jesper Andreas Kolderup, and their son, General Director of the Post Peter Andreas Rosenvinge Kolderup (1761–1824) was ennobled in 1811 under the name Kolderup-Rosenvinge.

Eiler Schøller Rosenvinge the younger had several illegitimate children with three different wives.
