Anthony Lowther's Parliamentary bio made me investigate Marske Manor, Yorks. He was a wealthy young man, and there is no hint of him being a Quaker or anything but a Royalist son of Cavaliers anywhere:
"Possibly financial difficulties, due to James Pennyman of Ormesby's adherence to the Royalist cause, may be the reason for the sale in 1650 of the manor of Marske to Eleanora Lowther, widow, and others. (fn. 82)
82. Feet of F. Yorks. Trin. 1650.
"These persons seem to have been acting for Robert Lowther, for in January 1666–7 Marske Manor belonged to Robert's son, Anthony, (fn. 83)
83. Recov. R. Hil. 18 Chas. II, m. 51."
