LOWES OF HALTWHISTLE

 

A pedigree in Hodgson’s History of Northumberland shows Susan, wife of John Maughan, as a daughter of William Lowes and mentions a will of William Lowes dated 23 Oct 1732, which I have not found.[1] However, the will of John Lowes of Whitshealls in Haltwhistle, written in 1709, names “my Daughter Susan Maughan”. John Lowes is shown as a brother of William Lowes in the pedigree in Hodgson’s History.

[6] George was left the tenement Grandy’s Knowe in his father’s will. He was therefore probably the George Lowes of Grandy’s Knowe whose will was written in 1738. There was also a George Lowes of Wooes or Woolhouse in Haltwhistle whose will was proved in 1720.
