Research notes

Mary Pennefather, eldest dau. of Kingsmill Pennefather of New Park (Col. of Militia, M.P. for Cashel and later co. Tipperary, High Sheriff 1703 and 1708) by his cousin, the only dau. and heir of John Pennefather of Compsey; m. Hamilton Lowe of Roe's Green - Burke's LGI 1912, Pennefather of Rathsallagh article. HER GRANDFATHER = Matthew Pennefather x Levina Kingsmill - the same couple from whom WILLIAM OF MARLOW (d. 1772, ancestor of the Huleatt/Ellen Pennefather line already in this file) descends: Kingsmill of New Park and William of Marlow were brothers. IF Mary is Elizabeth Lowe's mother (presumed - Hamilton Lowe's only recorded marriage in Burke's, and Richard Pennefather of Newpark stood in Elizabeth's 1755 settlement - but an Ancestry tree garbles her as 'Elizabeth Pennefather' and Betham's abstract of the 1770 Lowe will should settle it), then the tree carries a DOUBLE PENNEFATHER DESCENT converging on Matthew x Levina Kingsmill. Grade ~ (Burke's secondary + trustee corroboration; not yet joined to the Marlow Pennefathers as individuals - defer until Betham). END OF LINE as entered. Added 14 Jul 2026. [DIRECT ANCESTOR OF THE COMPILER: flag added 24 Jul 2026 by walking the tree from Aynsley, so that this marker is reliable and can be searched.]
