Biography

John's parents' names are not known, and only the name of 1 son John, with references to 3 unnamed daughters.

" 'Culleton's of London; Genealogical Collection' indicates that John was age 33 in 1513, hence born about 1480 and proposes that he was the son of Roberti Lowthrop, also of Cherry Burton. Culleton also suggests that John married MARGARET WADE; daughter of John Wade and Margaret _____. " ^[1] However, no credible family history has ever attempted to name his wife.^[2]

The name of John Lowthroppe appears on a subsidy roll, assessed twice as much as any other inhabitant of the parish. ^[3]

He left a son, Robert, and three daughters whose names are unknown, though their families are mentioned in their brother's will. ^[3]

Birth

Birth: Abt 1474, Lowthrope, Cherry Burton, Yorkshire, England ^[1]

Christening

Records missing: "the early parish registers having disappeared. No record of baptisms before 1597, none of burials before 1561, and none of marriages before 1562, now remain." ^[2]

Note: Regarding "Christening: Deckeringyks, Eng"

It is a misspelling of Dickering, Yorkshire, England. Dickering is a "wapentake" - a civil division of the country, "established in medieval times, it ceased to have much significance in the 19th century when the wapentakes were superseded by other administrative divisions for most local government purposes." ^{[2] [4]} Cherry Burton is in the Dickering wapentake.

Death

before 1545, Cherry Burton, Yorkshire, England ^[5]

Note: John's name disappears from records, and his son Robert's name appears in the tax record of 1543 - 1545. ^[5]
