Notes

[1] Lancaster: This pedigree is partly from The Curwen’s of Workington Hall, by Jackson, F.S.A. See also Transact. Cumb. and Westmoreland Antiq. and Archælog. Society. This and the pedigrees of “Lowther” (down to the Earls of Lonsdale), “Cleburne,” “Curwen, and other families connected with the Curwens by marriage, have been critically compared with the early Records: “Symeon of Durham,” Freeman’s “Norman Conquest,” Dugdale, Hinde, Burke (Somerset Herald, 1787), Atkinson, Le Neve, Dale (Richmond Herald), and others.—See the “Curwen,” and “Cleburne,” genealogies, ante, in this Volume. But the ancient pedigree of “Lowther” is taken from the MSS. of George Hanson, of Chestertown.
