Sir John Lowther, 1st Baronet (1759-1844)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir John Lowther, 1st Baronet (1 April 1759 – 19 March 1844) was an English landowner and Member of Parliament, the second son of Sir William Lowther, 1st Baronet.

On 4 September 1790, he married Lady Elizabeth Fane (d. 1844), daughter of John Fane, 9th Earl of Westmorland. They had four children:

Sir John Henry Lowther, 2nd Baronet (1793–1868)
George William Lowther (17 October 1795 – 1805)
Sir Charles Hugh Lowther, 3rd Baronet (1803–1894)
Elizabeth Lowther (d. 2 October 1863), unmarried

At some time after his elder brother was created Earl of Lonsdale, the Swillington estate was made over to John, who was himself created a baronet on 3 November 1824.
