Aeneas leaves his house with his wife Creusa, his son Ascanius, and his father Anchises. But Creusa gets separated in the fire and never makes it to the ships.
At the beginning of Book VII we learn that Aeneas' childhood nurse Caieta has died, so she must also have formed part of the escape party.
By the time Aeneas manages to set sail he has gathered quite a few survivors of the sack of Troy (twenty boats set out).
If you need to name specifically three people who escape with Aeneas, then it is probably Ascanius, Anchises, and Caieta.
