The estate was subsequently sequestrated by the Parliament, 
and Edward Lowe and his two eldest surviving sons, John and 
Arthur,* were compelled to compound for the same by a payment 
of £221. Edward Lowe, Esq., was buried in the chancel at 
Wirksworth, July the 8th, 1650. Anthony Lowe, his eldest son, 
who was born September the 11th, 1613, and baptised at 
Wirksworth on the roth of that month, was killed in battle at 
Gainsborough, July the 30th, 1643. He was then under the 
command of the Earl of Newcastle, and being greatly esteemed 
_ by the Earl, his remains were conveyed to Bolsover, and there 
interred in the vault belonging to that nobleman’s family. 
_ Bassano mentions a monument in the church at Bolsover to this 
Anthony Lowe, but it has long since disappeared. Edward Lowe, 
the second son, who was born May the 4th, 1614, and baptised at 
Wirksworth on the 28th of that month, and who died unmarried 
and was buried in the chancel at Wirksworth, July the 21st, 1646, 
is said likewise to have died from the effects of a wound received 
in the civil wars. The family estates accordingly devolved on 
John Lowe, the third son. 
John Lowe, Esq., of Alderwasley, the eldest surviving son of 
Edward Lowe, was born May the 2nd, 1616, and baptised at Wirks- 
worth on the 19thof that month. He married Elizabeth, daughter 
of Anthony Crofts, of Brampton, by whom he had three sons and 
two daughters. His wife was buried at Wirksworth, July the 8th, 
_ * This Arthur Lowe married Jane, daughter and heiress of John Brookshaw, 
of Hazlewood, and was father of Anthony Lowe, of Hazlewood, whose only 
son, Captain Edward Lowe, sold that property to Sir Nathaniel Curzon. 
Bart., in 1748, and died in 1774, at the age of 94 years. Arthur Lowe 
urvived his nephew, John Lowe, Esq., of Alderwasley, and became heir male
