Abstract & context
Thomas Tyte and George Willoughby, who was also a London merchant, were brothers-in-law. This appears to be through their respective marriages to two daughters of the London draper and alderman, Robert Lowther (b. 1595, d. 1654/55). According to a secondary genealogical source Thomas Tyte married Elizabeth Lowther (b. ca. 1636, d. 1667) on September 24th, 1655 in Little Ilford, Essex, and George Willoughby married the widowed Dorothy Lowther (b. 1633, d. 1690 at Bishopstone, Wiltshire) on April 14th, 1662 in Great Greenford, Middlesex.[1] George Willoughby was knighted much later, in 1686. Thomas Tyte mentions in his will both his brother, Sir George Willoughby, and his brother, John Lowther.
