- The lineage from here back is now all speculation.
This is only a possible scenario based on the available documentation.
George Lowther, I of Skreen Castle, County Meath (William, Richand, Hugh, John, Hugh, Hugh, Hugh, Hugh, Robert, John De Lowther, Sir, Hugh, Hugh, Hugh, Hugh, Geoffrey, Robert, Hamon, Dolfin, Unknown Lowther)
Birth: Jul. 6, 1618 North Yorkshire, England OR? July 12, 1618 Ingleton, West Riding, Yorkshire, England Death: 1659 Armagh, County Armagh, Northern Ireland OR? 1683 (age 64) Longhill, Lurgan, Armagh, No. Ireland
"VIII. William of Ingleton, from whom descend the 'Lowthers of Yorkshire,' and of 'Skryne county Meath'."

"Sir Lancelot apparently left no will, but in 1635, George´s cousin, CHRISTOPHER LOWTHER noted in his diary that 'Sir Lancelot was "considering leaving the estate to George´s elder brother, the Reverend Lancelot Lowther of Kirkby Thore" adding that he might change his mind and had, in any case, decided to give George 50 pounds a year `during his (Sir Lancelot´s) life. That Sir Lancelot did change his mind is known, because in a document of 1659, George is described as `late of Screene´ in Ireland, deceased.´´
"Also, this George married Frances Piers first, the daughter of Henry Piers of Tristernagh, County Westmeath, and granddaughter of Archbishop Thomas Jones of Dublin. Henry Piers was an eminent traveler, and wrote an account of his travels in 1595 on the continent. George's estate at Skreen consisted of some 300 acres and included the remains of an ancient abbey as well as the castle (or fortified house) where Sir Lancelot spent his last years. George died at some date before 1659 leaving three sons: Edward, Lancelot, and William; and two daughters who are mentioned without names in Sir Gerard II's will."
Regarding the Irish Branch of the Lowthers, in Chapter Eleven of the Lowther Family by Hugh Owen, on page 132 he states:
The branch of the Lowther family known as the Irish Branch stems from George the youngest son of William Lowther of Ingleton and youngest grandson of the Elizabethan, Sir Richard Lowther (1532-1608) Members of this branch sat in the Irish House of Commons in Dublin.

"Inherited the estate of Skreen in CO. Meath from his uncle Sir Lancelot, the Irish judge who died in 1638 and founded what has become known as the Irish Branch of the Lowther family."
"Captain of Horse in Ireland under the Marquess of Ormonde."

George had sons Edward, Lancelot, and William.
There was a Lancelot Lowther and a William Lowther in "Fighters of Derry in 1689."

Still need to fill in a couple of generations to complete this 'scenerio'.
