176 SOME ACCOUNT OF THE FAMILY OF LOWE. 
(married to Katherine, daughter of Sir Arthur Pilkington, 
Bart., of Stanley, in Yorkshire), and nine younger children. 
Want of space prohibits any detailed account of the descent 
of this family. It should be added, however, that in 1785, 
upon the decease of Richard Lowe, Esq.,* of Denby and Locko 
Park, the estates devolved upon William Drury, Esq. (grand- 
son of William Drury, Alderman of Nottingham, who married 
Anne, eldest daughter of John Lowe, Esq., of Denby) ; and he 
accordingly assumed the additional name and arms of Lowe, 
by royal license, July the roth, 1790. William Drury Lowe, 
Esq., died without male issue, July the 11th, 1827, leaving 
Anne, his widow, a life interest in the estates. That lady, 
whose maiden name was Steer, was baptised at Burton Latimer, 
in Northamptonshire, July the 23rd, 1745, and died at Locko 
Park, November the 13th, 1848, in her ro4th year. Her only 
daughter and heiress had married Robert Holden, Esq., of 
Nuthall Temple, in Nottinghamshire, whose eldest son assumed 
the name and arms of Lowe, by royal license, upon succeeding 
to the family estates on the decease of his maternal grandmother, 
the venerable lady above mentioned. 
* Richard Lowe, Esq., had no lawful issue, but by Ellen Leyton, whom he 
afterwards married, he had three natural daughters. His brother, Stead Lowe, 
settled in America, where he died, leaving a son of his own name, who did 
not, however, inherit the family estates.
