Percival Lowell, son of Richard Lowell, was the American immigrant ancestor. He was born in England, in 1571; died January 8, 1684, at Newbury, Massachusetts. He came over in the ship "Jonathan" in 1639, aged sixty-eight years. His home in England was at Kingston-Seymour, Clivedon, Portbury, Weston-in-Gordano, all of Somersetshire, and also at Bristol, in Gloucestershire, where he was at the head of a large mercantile establish- ment, under the firm name of Percival Lowle & Company. This firm was composed of Perci- val, his son John, possibly his son Richard, also possibly William Gerrish. In 1597, prior to his emigration, Percival Lowell served as assessor. In 1642 he was one of the organizers of Newbury ; in 1653 appraiser of the estate of Thomas Millard, of Newbury; in 1678 took the prescribed oath of allegiance.

(IV) Captain Gideon, son of Percival (2) Lowell, was born September 3, 1672, and died in Amesbury before 1753. He was a cord- wainer by trade, also a mariner. His house in Amesbury was but recently torn down. Tradition says that he opened a street through his land in Amesbury, and built a house for each of his seven sons upon it. He was a sea captain and his wife often went with him on voyages. He was a soldier in the Canada ex- pedition in 1690. He owned a wharf near Ames' wharf, at the mouth of the Powow river, where he landed his cargoes of "rhum" and "shugar" from the West Indies, or rice, resin and tar from the Carolinas. "It would seem that he was a very bold and successful voyager, as he amassed considerable fortune. Tradition makes it seem probable that in his voyages the king's revenue was not always considered, nor did he hesitate to run up aside of and board by force French or Spanish craft as the opportunity presented." He married (first ), July 7, 1692, Miriam ( or Mary ) Swett, born April 10, 1672, died November 27, 1734, daughter of John and Mary ( Plummer ) Swett, granddaughter of Stephen and great-grand- daughter of John Swett (1).

(11I) Stephen (2), second son

HOLDEN of Stephen (1) and Hannah Holden, was probably born about 1600, in Groton, where he resided. He married (first ). about 1718, Hannah, daugh-

ter of Obadiah and Hannah Sawtelle, born June 8, 1695, in Groton. She died, and he married (second) in Charlestown, July 4, 1749, Sarah Cresy. Children of first marriage : Ste- phen, born June II, 1720; Charles, October 22, 1721 ; Hannah, September 30, 1723; Phile- mon, February 28, 1725; Submit, November 21, 1729; Simon; Nathaniel, who died May 15, 1740. Children of second wife: Relief, April 2, 1750; Jonas, September 8, 1751 ; Eph- raim, September 16, 1753; Content, May 8, 1756.

(IV) Simon, fourth son of Stephen (2) and Hannah (Sawtelle) Holden, was born 1731, in Groton, and settled in the east part of Shirley on the Squannacook river. His lands were easy of cultivation, and yielded good re- sults to his industry. He became a large land owner, and was called in his time a rich man. In his last years, through the treachery of those whom he trusted, he lost all his property, and died a wayfarer in the town of Lunenburg. He was buried in the old Shirley cemetery. He had a wife Sarah and children : Abraham, died young; Hannah, Simon, Susanna, Abra- ham, Hezekiah, Miriam, Sarah, James and Jemima.

(V) Simon (2), second son of Simon (1) and Sarah Holden, was born May 22, 1757, and resided in Shirley. His death does not appear of record. The publication of his in- tention of marriage to Mary Pierce was made September 7, 1777. She may have been a daughter of John and Hannah Pierce, of Shirley. He married (second), April 20, 1794, Lydia, daughter of Simon and Hannah (Gib- son ) Page, born December 10, 1748, in Shirley. Children: Polly, married Samuel Sever, of Chesterfield, New Hampshire ; Simon, Nathan and Luther. It is quite probable that he spent his latter years in Chesterfield.

(VI) Simon (3), eldest son of Simon (2) and Mary ( Pierce ) Holden, was born June 27, 1780, in Shirley ; died there June 9, 1805. Ile married Mary Kezer, born September 16, 1783, in Shirley, daughter of Jonathan and Bathsheba ( Alexander ) Kezer, of Shirley.

He grew up in his native town, receiving a fair education, and learned the trade of shoemaker. Soon after attaining his majority, he removed to Woburn, Massachusetts, where he carried on a custom shoe business until advanced in life. He was

industrious and successful, and invested his earnings shrewdly in real estate. In his latter years he bought and sold property quite ex- tensively. and accumulated a comfortable com- petence. He retained his physical and mental vigor up to within two weeks of his death. He was a member of the Congregational church, of Woburn, and of the Masonic order, and after 1856 was a firm supporter of the Repub- lican party. He married, March 1I, 1829, Sarah Hill Teele, of Cambridge, born March 18. 1810. daughter of Jonathan and Lydia (Hill) Teele, of that town. Children: Albert Parker, who lived and died in Woburn; Sarah Frances, wife of Frank Chamberlain, of Wo- burn ; George Whitfield.

(VIII) George Whitfield, younger son of Simon (4) and Sarah H. (Teele) Holden, was born September 27. 1840, in Woburn, where he grew to manhood, and received a fair edu- cation. He completed the grammar school course, but did not complete the high school. At an early age he began learning the painter's trade, but this so injured his health that he sought some out-door occupation. At the age of twenty-one he went to Arlington and took employment with a market gardner named Hill, and thus continued for about two years. In 1863 he began gardening on his own account in West Somerville, on lands belonging to his mother's estate, and continued in this occupa- tion until the end of his life. He died April 27, 1905, at his home near Tufts College. About the close of the civil war, he enlisted to recruit the Union army, but the struggle was ended before he reached the front. After his stay in camp at New York, he was discharged and returned home. Mr. Holden was a member of the North Avenue Baptist Church, of Cam- bridge, and was a devoted member of Bethel Lodge, No. 21, I. O. O. F., at Arlington, which he joined within a few months after his major- ity. He was also early identified with Hose Company. No. 4. Volunteer Firemen of Som- erville, and became a member of the Veteran Firemen's Association of that town. In poli- tical principle he was a consistent and firm Republican. He married, September 27. 1866. Cevilla C. Quimby, born December 26, 1840, in West Springfield, New Hampshire, daugh- ter of Timothy H. (2) and Eliza (Davis) Quimby, of that town, and granddaughter of Timothy H. (1) Quimby. Their first two children. Eva May and Amy Janette, died in early childhood. The living are Sarah Maria, Bertha Eliza, Lena Estelle and Lilla Claribel.

Lena Estelle married Alfred Ernest Hender- son, and has one child, Dorothy May, born August, 1893. The others, with their widowed mother, reside in the paternal homestead on Curtis street, West Somerville.

(The Quimby Line).

(II) John, third son of Robert (q. v.) and Elizabeth (Osgood) Quimby, was born Sep- tember 7, 1665, in Salisbury, where he resided, but little seems to be discoverable about his life and character. The baptismal name of his wife was Mary, but her family name is not of record. She died in Salisbury, August 17, 1710. Children : John, Jeremiah, Eleazer, David, Sarah, Robert, Jonathan, Jacob and Jethro. There is some doubt about the last- named, as the faulty records make his birth occur more than three months after the death of his mother.

(III) David, fourth son of John and Mary Quimby, was born July 19, 1693, in Salisbury, and he resided in Kingston, New Hampshire, where he probably married, December 25, 1,724, Abigail, daughter of Thomas (3) and Sarah Webster. He was a member of the First Church, of Kingston, when Rev. Ward Clark took charge in 1725. The records of this church show the baptisms of several of his children, but do not mention the mother's name. They were : Alice, baptized January 22, 1727 ; Samuel, January 5, 1729; David, Janu- ary 30, 1732 ; Sarah (died young) ; John, May 21, 1738; Elizabeth, January 25, 1741 ; Moses and Jacob (parentage not mentioned), De- cember 4, 1743 ; Sarah.

He was elected constable in 1784. selectman in 1787, member of committee to build the meetinghouse in 1788, and surveyor of lumber in 1794. The first list of taxpayers now known was made in the lastnamed year, and includes Timothy Quimby.

(V) Timothy H., son of Timothy Quimby, was born in Springfield, and lived at West Springfield, in that town. He married Eliza Davis, also a native of the town.

(VI) Cevilla, daughter of Timothy H. and Eliza (Davis) Quimby, was born December 26, 1840, in West Springfield, and married, September 27, 1866, George W. Holden, of Somerville, Massachusetts ( see Holden, VIII).
