Son of Sir William Brownlow and Dorothy Mason, npg d32242 . John was b. 1690 and d. 1754 at Belton, Lincolnshire. Both his parents died before he was eleven and he was brought up by his maternal grandmother, Lady Mason, (Anna Margaretta Long, mother of Anne Gerard npg d31009) who had assumed administration of his father's affairs. When he came of age he found great fault with the management of his property, and the resulting coolness between himself and his grandmother was exacerbated by his possession of the manor of Sutton in Surrey, which he had inherited from his mother, but which Lady Mason believed belonged rightly to the children of her other daughter, Anne Gerard.
