172 SOME ACCOUNT OF THE FAMILY OF LOWE. 
1677, and he himself was buried there on the 24th of the same 
month. 
John Lowe, Esq., of Alderwasley, the eldest son of John Lowe, 
was nine years of age in 1662, and was the last male represen- 
tative of the elder branch of this family. He served as High 
Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1679, and dying unmarried June the 
16th, 1690, was buried on the 19th of that month in the chancel 
at Wirksworth, where there is a mural monument, with a quaint 
rhyming epitaph, to his memory. His second brother, Anthony 
Lowe, who was eight years of age in 1662, became an officer in 
the first troop of Life Guards, and dying a bachelor in London. 
August the roth, 1685, was buried in the parish church of St.

memory happily escaped destruction when that church was re-

Thomas Lowe, the third son, died young. Of the two 
daughters, Jane, the elder, died unmarried in the lifetime of

1670-1, to Nicholas Hurt, Esq., of Casterne,in the County of 
Stafford, and died April the zoth, 1713, aged 62, leaving with 
other issue, a son, Charles, whose descendants are the present
