Chapter XVI: Appendix: A. the Lowell Ancestry (1)

I. _Paternal._[110]

1. The first American ancestor of the Massachusetts Lowells was PERCEVAL LOWELL, written also LOWLE, who came from Somersetshire, England, in 1639, when he was 68 years old, and was one of the early settlers of Newbury, Mass., which was organized in 1642. He wrote a poem on the death of Governor Winthrop, and died in Newbury, 8 January, [1664/5].

2. Perceval Lowell brought with him to America two sons, JOHN and RICHARD, and a daughter JOAN. John, the elder brother, was made a Freeman in 1641; he was a deputy from Newbury to the General Court in 1643-1644. He died in Newbury in 1647, aged 52 years.

3. His son JOHN was born in England, and came to America when he was ten years old, with his father and grandfather. He was a cooper by trade, and made his home first in Boston and then in Scituate. He was thrice married, the third time to Naomi Sylvester, a sister of his second wife; he moved later to Rehoboth, Mass., but finally returned to Boston, where he died 7 June, 1694. He had nineteen children in all.

4. EBENEZER LOWELL, fifteenth son of John Lowell, his mother being Naomi [Sylvester] was born in Boston in 1675, and married in 1694 Elizabeth Shailer. He was a cordwainer, which sounds more dignified than shoemaker, and died in Boston, 10 September, 1711.

5. JOHN LOWELL, son of Ebenezer and Elizabeth [Shailer] Lowell, was born in Boston, 14 March, 1703/4. He was graduated from Harvard in 1721, and married Sarah, daughter of Noah and Sarah [Turell] Champney, 23 December, 1725. On 19 January, 1726, he was ordained pastor of the Third Parish in Newbury, which became the First Parish in Newburyport, when under that name the part of Newbury up to that time designated the Waterside was set off as a separate township in 1764. Mrs. Lowell died in 1756, and the Rev. John Lowell married again in 1758 Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Cutts, Jr., and widow of the Rev. Joseph Whipple. The Rev. John Lowell died in Newburyport, 15 May, 1767.

6. JOHN, son of John and Sarah [Champney] Lowell, was born in Newbury, 17 June, 1743. He took his bachelor’s degree at Harvard in 1760, and under the arrangement of those days, which recorded the members of a class in order of social dignity, he was seventh in a class of twenty-seven. He studied law in Boston with Oxenbridge Thacher [H. U. 1698], and was admitted to practice in 1763. He returned to his native town and at once became prominent in public affairs. In 1767 he drew up a report upon a letter from the selectmen of Boston concerning the measures to be taken to frustrate the encroachments of Great Britain. He served for several years as one of the selectmen of Newburyport, and in May, 1776, was one of the five representatives of the town in the General Court. He removed to Boston in 1777, and the next year was chosen a representative to the General Court from Boston. In 1779 he was elected a member of the convention for framing the constitution of the State. In 1781 he was chosen a delegate to the Continental Congress. In 1782 he was appointed by Congress one of the three judges of the newly created Admiralty court of appeals. In 1784 he was one of the commissioners to establish the boundary line between Massachusetts and New York. On the adoption of the constitution of the United States, President Washington appointed him Judge of the U. S. District Court in Massachusetts. In 1801 he was appointed Chief Justice of the Circuit Court for the first circuit, under the new organization of the judiciary.

He married, in 1767, Sarah, daughter of Stephen and Elizabeth [Cabot] Higginson, and had by her three children, Anna Cabot, John, and Sarah Champney. His wife, Sarah, died 5 May, 1772, and he married again, 31 May, 1774, Susanna, daughter of Francis and Mary [Fitch] Cabot, by whom he had two children, Francis Cabot, founder of the factory system in Lowell, and Susanna. His second wife, Susanna, died 30 March, 1777, and he married a third time Rebecca, daughter of James and Katharine [Graves] Russell, of Charlestown, and widow of James Tyng, of Dunstable, Mass. By her he had four children, Rebecca Russell, Charles, Elizabeth Cutts, and Mary. He died in Roxbury, Mass., 6 May, 1802.

He was for eighteen years a member of the corporation of Harvard College, and was one of the founders of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His son, the Rev. Charles Lowell, stated: “My father introduced into the Bill of Rights the clause by which slavery was abolished in Massachusetts. My father advocated its adoption in the convention, and when it was adopted, exclaimed: ‘Now there is no longer slavery in Massachusetts; it is abolished and I will render my services as a lawyer gratis to any slave suing for his freedom if it is withheld from him,’ or words to that effect.”

7. CHARLES LOWELL, son of John and Rebecca [Russell] Lowell, was born in Boston, 15 August, 1782. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1800, travelled in Europe 1802-1805, and on his return to Boston was made pastor of the West Congregational Church in that town, and remained its pastor, either active or emeritus, till he died. He was married, 2 October, 1806, to Harriet Brackett, daughter of Keith and Mary [Traill] Spence. He was elected a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1815, and was its recording Secretary from 1818 to 1833, and corresponding Secretary from 1833 to 1849. He was stricken with partial paralysis in the autumn of 1851, and died 20 January, 1861.

The children of Charles and Harriet Traill [Spence] Lowell, were

1. Charles Russell, born 30 October, 1807; he married Anna Cabot
Jackson, 18 April, 1832, and died 23 June, 1870; their children
were

i. Anna Cabot Jackson, married to Dr. Henry Elisha Woodbury.

ii. Charles Russell, Jr., commissioned Brigadier General, who died
20 October, 1864, from wounds received at the battle of Cedar
Creek.

iii. Harriet, married to George Putnam.

iv. James Jackson, commissioned first lieutenant, 20 Massachusetts
Volunteers, and died 4 July, 1862, from wounds received at
Glendale, Va., five days previous.

2. Rebecca Russell, born 17 January, 1809; died, unmarried, 20 May,
1872.

3. Mary Train Spence, born 3 December, 1810, died 1 June, 1898; she
married, 25 April, 1832, Samuel Raymond Putnam, and their children
were

i. Alfred Lowell Putnam.

ii. Georgina Lowell Putnam.

iii. William Lowell Putnam, who was commissioned 10 July, 1861, 2d
lieutenant, 20th Massachusetts Volunteers, and was killed in the
battle of Ball’s Bluff, 21 October, 1861.

iv. Charles Lowell Putnam.

4. William Keith Spence, born 23 September, 1813; died 12 February,
1823.

5. Robert Traill Spence, born 8 October, 1816, died 12 September,
1891; he married Marianna Duane, 28 October, 1845, and their
children were--

i. Harriet Brackett Spence.

ii. Marianna.

iii. Percival.

iv. James Duane.

v. Charles.

vi. Rebecca Russell.

vii. Robert Traill Spence, Jr.

6. JAMES RUSSELL, born 22 February, 1819; died 12 August, 1891.

When the Rev. Delmar R. Lowell was collecting material for _The
Historic Genealogy of the Lowells of America_, he had for use two
letters from Lowell, which he has printed in facsimile in his
volume, and kindly permits me to copy.

ELMWOOD, 12 July, 1875

DEAR SIR,--Whether Coffin was right in making Ebenezer born in 1685
or no, I cannot say, but Rev. John L. of Newbury was son of _an_
Ebenezer, and I doubt if there were two contemporaneous with each
other. This John--my great-grandfather, can hardly have doubted his
descent from Perceval, since I have books from his library in which
he spells his name Lowle; and I have always understood that a
silver seal of arms (in my brother’s possession) came from him. My
father (as you rightly suppose) had more knowledge on this point
than any one else, but I fear he never made any written record of
it. If I should find any such, I shall gladly communicate it to
you. That you and I are kinsmen I have never doubted since I had
the pleasure of seeing you some thirty odd years ago; when I was
struck with your likeness to the portrait of my ancestor, the Rev.
John of Newbury. As he graduated in 1721, his father _must_ have
been born earlier than 1685, one would think, unless, indeed, the
parson was as precocious as his son and grandson, both of whom
graduated before they were seventeen. But this is hardly probable.
Ebenezer’s father, I remember, was named John.

My father had talked with men who remembered his great-grandfather,
Ebenezer, as a very respectable old gentleman with a goldheaded
cane. Dining once with a friend in Philadelphia, I was surprised to
see a handsome tankard with _our_ arms on it. He told me it came to
him by inheritance from the Shippens, one of whom had married a
Lowell. I believe we have the right to quarter Levesege, one of our
forbears having married an heiress of that name. Theirs is a very
pretty coat, three dolphins _passant, or_.

If you are making out a pedigree you must be on your guard, for I
have been told that all the foundlings of the city of Lowell (and
there are a good many of them) are christened with the name. And it
is sometimes assumed. Some twenty years ago I received a letter
from a person in New York informing me that he was about to assume
the name. I paid no attention to the letter, thinking it a trick
(as I am sometimes the subject of such) to get an autograph, but,
sure enough, he presently sent me a newspaper in which was
advertised a legal authentication of his change of name.

The family came from Yardley in Worcestershire, where, I believe,
some monuments of them remain in the churchyard. They were a
_visitation_ family. I hoped to visit Yardley the last time I was
in England, but was prevented by being suddenly summoned to
Cambridge to receive a degree. The only Lowells now left in England
that I could find are the descendants of Rev. Samuel of Bristol,
England, who went back from America--or, rather, whose father went.
My father saw him in England seventy years ago, and the
relationship between them was recognized on both sides. How near it
was I have no means of knowing. I have somewhere, but cannot lay my
hand on it, a deed of the first John Lowle of Newbury. It is
witnessed by Somebody who came out as clerk with Perceval, and
seems to be in his handwriting. _How_ we are descended from
Perceval I know not, but Ebenezer must have known who his
grandfather was, and his son would hardly have ventured (in those
more scrupulous days) to have assumed arms that did not belong to
him. Perceval wrote some verses (neither better nor worse than such
usually are) on the death of the first Governor Winthrop. You will
find them (with a palpable error or two of copier or printer) in
the appendix to the second volume of Winthrop’s “Life and Letters.”

I remain, Very truly yours, J. R. LOWELL.

* * * * *

ELMWOOD, 23d July, 1875.

DEAR SIR,--I have no doubt you are right in putting the birth of
Ebenezer L. in 1675. My father in his family Bible says he died “in
1711 _æt._ 36.” The faded ink shows that this was written many
years ago, and I have no doubt he had authority for it. He goes on
to say that his widow “married Philip Bougardus, Esq., and died
1761, leaving one daughter married to Eneas Mackay.”

I have searched in vain for a bundle of pedigrees (collected by my
father) which seem to have gone astray during my two years’ absence
in Europe. They carried the family back to the thirteenth century
(I think), and were obtained from the Heralds’ Office.

I don’t wonder you think the blunted arrows unsightly. They are all
wrong. The arms are a hand grasping three _crossbow bolts_, a very
different thing, and with very formidable points to them, as I
trust those of the family will always have. I brought home three of
them from Germany in ’52. They are shaped thus , the shaft of oak, the _feathers_ of lighter
wood, and the head steel. The transverse section of the head would
be a diamond ◇.

I think it plain that my father knew all about Ebenezer, wherever
he got it. If I can aid you in any way, I shall be glad to do so.

I remain, Very truly yours, J. R. LOWELL.

II. _Maternal._[111]

1. ROBERT CUTT is supposed to have come from England to this country previous to 1646, going first to the Barbadoes, where he married Mary Hoel, and afterward to Portsmouth, N. H. He removed thence to Kittery, Me., and died there 18 June, 1674.

Mary [Whipple] Traill died 3 October, 1791. Robert Traill, after the Revolution, was a collector of the revenues in the Bermudas.

5. MARY, only daughter of Robert and Mary [Whipple] Traill, baptized 24 May, 1753, married Keith Spence, of Kirkwall, Orkney, who had settled as a merchant in Portsmouth. Later he became purser of the frigate Philadelphia. Mrs. Spence died 18 January, 1824.

6. HARRIET BRACKETT, daughter of Keith and Mary Whipple [Traill] Spence, was born 26 July, 1783; she married the Rev. Charles Lowell, 2 October, 1806, and died 30 March, 1850.

D. THE LOWELL MEMORIAL IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY

_From the London Times, Wednesday, 29 November, 1893_

Mr. Leslie Stephen yesterday unveiled the memorial which has been placed in honor of the late James Russell Lowell at the entrance to the Chapter-house, Westminster Abbey. The memorial includes a window and a bust underneath, which is said to be an admirable likeness of the late American Minister. The window has been erected by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, and consists of three lights. In the centre is the figure of Sir Launfal, from Lowell’s poem of that name, below is an angel with the Holy Grail, and in the lowest compartment the incident of Sir Launfal and the leper is represented. The right light has the figure of St. Botolph, the patron saint of the church of Boston, Lincolnshire, from which the Massachusetts city, Lowell’s birthplace, derived its name; below is the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. The light on the left contains the figure of St. Ambrose, one of the reputed authors of _Te Deum Laudamus_; below is a group representing the emancipation of slaves. In trefoils above the side-lights are shields bearing the arms of the United States and the United Kingdom.

Mr. A. J. Balfour was asked to take the chief part in yesterday’s ceremony, but was prevented by illness from attending.
