Notes

From "Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families", Vol. 1, pg. 76:

LOWE - - the Lowe's of Denby, County Derby, England are numbered paternally among the most ancient families of the realm, while through a maternal line, their lineage can be traced back to Charlemagne.

In the Table of Battle Abbey, the name Lowe (or Laue) appears on the list of Chieftains who came over with William the Conquerer, and there is a long genealogical chart extending from the Conquest in 1066, embracing the arms: "a wolf passant argent", which suggests the connection with the Lowe's of Denby. The arms: "a wolf passant d'or" are found in the roll of Arms time of Richard I as borne by Nichole de Low. The arms of the family of John Lowe of GRAFTON MANOR: "Azure, a hart trippant argent". Crest: "A wolf passant or", indicate their descent from the Lowe's of Denby.

The first of whom we have specific record are William Del Lowe and Thomas del Lowe, both of Macelesfield, and presumably brothers. An emblazened pedigree in possession of the Hurtt family commences with Thomas del Lowe, d. 1415, father of Goeffrey, from whom the Maryland Lowe's derive their descent.
