LOWELL
Percival 1 Lowell (Lowle old style) the ancestor of all the American families of the name was b. in Somersetshire Eng. 1571. Percival Lowell and sons were of large wealth when they came to America and did not receive "land grants" but purchased real estate very ·ex- tensively.
Reuben 6 Lowell (Stephen Capt. Gideon + Percival 3 Richard 2 Percival 1) .b. June 29, 1739 m. Dec. 15, 1761, Priscilla 11 b. Mar. 1, 1741, dau. of Joshua 10 and Priscilla (Jacobs) Bartlett of Kingston N. H. In 1768 they moved to Brunswick Me. but the unrest of the period caused them to return to Kingston where * Reuben signed the N. H. Association Test and saw active service in the Rev. War. In 1779 the family again moved to Maine,-first, Brunswick, later among the pioneers of the Sandy River Township. * Joshua Bartlett, Mrs. Lowell's father, also signed the N. H. Association Test.
Reuben 7 Lowell (Percival 1) b. Sept. 16, 1773, m. 1795, Betsey, b. 1774, dau. of Philip + and Eunice (Manter) Smith of Martha's Vine- yard, Mass. They settled in Farmington Me.
Philip & S. Lowell (Percival 1) b. in Farmington Me. May 13, 1809, m. July 25, 1831, Harriet Byram Butler, b. Mar. 13, 1809, dau. of Winthrop and Elizabeth (Mayhew) (Simon) Butler of Farmington. Mr. Winthrop Butler was the 6th. generation from Nicholas Butler, Eastwall, Co. Kent, England 1591. Philip Lowell moved to Abbot, and not satisfied with school facilities for his children, moved to "old Foxcroft". He was a Democrat in politics, serving in the two branches of the Legislature several terms. Mr. Lowell owned quite extensively in real estate in Foxcroft, supervised the building of the Congregational Church (present one) and was contractor for the old log dam replaced by the present one of cement. Mrs. Lowell d. in 1857 and later Mr. Lowell disposed of his Foxcroft property and with his two daughters went to California. Was interested in real estate there and in develop- ments in the Sandwich Islands. He d. at his residence in San Fran- cisco Cal. Oct. 13, 1888.
Charles 9 Winthrop Lowell (Percival 1) b. in Farmington Maine, Nov. 20, 1834: m. June 7 1860, Mary $ Esther, b. Mar. 16, 1837, dau. of Hon. Charles 7 Parsons and Sarah 7 M.

croft Academy: and at an early age commenced teaching in rural schools. He finished his Academic training at Bowdoin College. While reading for his chosen profession, Law, in the office of Hon. Charles P. Chandler, he was engaged in teaching in Sebec Village, and as Assistant Preceptor of Foxcroft Academy. Upon his admission to the Bar, and his marriage with Miss Chandler, they took up their resi- dence in Norway, Maine; where Mr. Lowell had formed a partnership with Hon. Mark H. Dunnell, later Member of Congress. He had not long to wait, for nearly his first case, a fiercely contested one, in which he won in each appealed instance, at once established his reputation, as a sound lawyer and eloquent pleader. It gave him conspicuous pre- eminence at the Bar. In the fall of 1861 he was elected to the Maine Legislature, from Oxford County, and although one of the youngest members, speedily rose to the front rank of influence. On the death of Mrs. Lowell's brother, Col. Charles Peleg Chandler of the 1st. Mass. Inf., gallantly leading his men in that fierce conflict at Nelson's Farm, Glendale, Virginia, 1862, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell returned to Fox- croft, to be with her widowed mother. At the earnest instance of Hon. John H. Rice, our member of Congress, Mr. Lowell entered into part- nership, and they occupied the office of Mr. Lowell's father-in-law, the late Hon. C. P. Chandler. The office building was on the site of the present Masonic Temple. Young Lowell was made a Trial Justice by Gov. Washburn. On January 24, 1863 his wife passed away, leaving a young daughter, only six days old! A month later, after making very thoughtful and generous provision for the care of his infant daughter, Mr. Lowell accepted a Captaincy in the Regiment under Brig. Gen. Ullman. Was promoted Col. 80th. U. S. Infantry, Judge Advocate; Provost Marshall Gen. on Gov. Canby's staff from Aug; 2, 1865 to March 1866; when Gen. Canby relieved him and made him Judge of the Provost Court at New Orleans La. Col. Lowell's military service closed in March 1867, when his regiment was mustered out. Col. Lowell passed the summer with his young daughter at their home in Foxcroft. In the fall, the Secretary of the Interior appointed him Commissioner of Indian Affairs; but Gen. Hancock's insistence, that Col. Lowell should return to Louisiana and become Chairman of the Registration Board for Caddo Parish, was so strenuous that the Secretary and Col. Lowell yielded. In April 1868, Col. Lowell was elected to the House of Representatives, of the first General Assembly of Louisiana, after re- construction. He was also elected a delegate to the Republican Na- tional Convention, at Chicago, in May 1868, which unanimously nominated Gen. Grant for the Presidency. Col. Lowell was made one of the secretaries of the convention. Upon the organization of the New Government of Louisiana, he was unanimously elected Speaker of the House, a position he held until his death, with the single exception, of the period in which he served as Lt. Gov. of the State. President Grant proffered him an Ambassadorship, which he courteously, but very frankly refused to consider, even, because, as he phrased it, "I cannot bring myself to place an ocean between me and my dependant young daughter." Pres. Grant then appointed Col. Lowell without proffer, to the Postmastership of New Orleans. That he was a most conscientious, eloquent and effective leader of his Party, there was

never any question. Col. Lowell was a practitioner in the Louisiana Courts, a member of the Presbyterian Church, and of the Masonic Order of "Old Foxcroft" He was extensively interested in real estate, owning a valuable turpentine orchard near Mobile City, on Mobile Bay; and a large plantation above New Orleans, as well as his city resi- dence. In 1868, 1870, and 1872 he canvassed the states, along the Atlantic Coast as far north as his native Maine. Returning south in 1870 he was accompanied by his young daughter and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Hale. At President Grant's invitation they were received by him at the White House; where, to Mrs. Hale, the President paid a beautiful tribute of respect to the memory of her brother, Col. Charles P. Chandler. 1st Mass. Inf. Vol. Col. Lowell d. at his home in Foxcroft, Oct. 3, 1877 -: Buried in Rural Grove Cemetery.
