Lowther baronets of Marske (1697)
The Lowther baronetcy, of Marske in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of England on 15 June 1697 for the 21-year-old William Lowther, subsequently Member of Parliament for Lancaster.[2] His father was Anthony Lowther.[3] He was the grandson of the London merchant Robert Lowther, brother of Sir John Lowther of Lowther Hall, the father of Sir John Lowther, 1st Baronet, of Lowther.[4]
He was succeeded by his son, the 2nd Baronet, who also represented Lancaster in the House of Commons.[3][5] On his death the title passed to his son, the 3rd Baronet, who served as Lord-Lieutenant of Westmorland. In 1755 he succeeded to the estates of his cousin Sir James Lowther, 4th Baronet, of Whitehaven;[6] but then died unmarried, at an early age the following year when the baronetcy became extinct.
