"Sir Hugh Lowther (the father of Sir Richard Lowther),who although he had made a brilliant alliance by marrying Dorothy Clifford, appears, in some way which is entirely unknown, to have become entirely alienated from his father
Sir John Lowther, and we find a record of the unhappy dissension in the will of the latter, dated 3rd February 1552,in which he is disinherited in the following words :
I wych that all my lands shall dyscend to Richard Lowther according to a fine levied at London paying to his father (Sir Hugh) four score markes yerelye. Also I wych yt Jarrard Lowther shall have Scrubbe and Settbarre during his lyffe natural and after his decease to return to the right heirs of me, the said Sir John Lowther '; and further on, as if Richard were not altogether in his good graces, he says :* Also I wyll Henrye Lowther and Rychard Lowther shall have nothing to do with any goods of myn.'"
