John Lowe Family Circle THE ANCESTORS OF THE JOHN LOWE FAMILY CIRCLE AND THEIR DESCENDANTS FITCHBURG PRINTED BY THE SENTINEL PRINTING COMPANY 1901 INTRODUCTION. Previous to the year 1891 our family had held a pic­ nic on the Fourth of July for twenty years or more, but the Fourth of July, 1890, it was suggested· that we form what vvas named " The John Lowe Family Circle." The record of the action taken at that time is as follows: FITCHBURG, July 5, 1890.

The work has necessarily been slow, but we have at last accumulated quite an amount that your committee have spent much time and study to arrange in such form as would be acceptable to all. Our Fourth of July picnics have been held in Dr. Thomas Palmer's grove in Notown; only twice they were held in West Acton with the brothers and sisters of Sarah Mead. Our annual meeting has been held with Arthur, Albert, Waldo, Harriet, Edna, Herbert and David ; in 1898 it was held in G. A. R. hall, and 1900 in the John­ sonia, when Frank being President and Samuel Vice-Presi­ dent, they entertained the family. In order that the arrangement of the book may be better understood, we will say that the Lowes have been carried out in generations, and only those who are again mentioned as having issues have been marked with a left­ hand figure. Thus, if you wish to.find the direct ancestry of John Lowe, by referring to the index you will find his numbers to be ( 58-i.), also that he is the first child of David (43-v.) and I ... ouisa A. (Messenger) Lowe; referring back, we find David ( 43-v.) is the fifth child of Joseph (15-ii.) and Mary (Sawyer) Lowe; looking back to (15-ii.) we find that Joseph (15-ii.) was second child of Joseph (13-iv.) and Abigail (14-iii.) (IJow) Lowe, and Joseph (13- iv.) was fourth child of David (9-i.) and Susannah (Lowe) Low; and David (9-i.) was oldest child of David (6-iv.) and Mary (Lamb) Low. David {6-iv.) was fourth child of Thomas (2-ii.) and Martha (Borman) Low. Thomas ( 2-ii.) was second child of Thomas ( 1-i.). Then we have taken some of the ancestors of first, Mary Lamb, the wife of David (6-iv.); then Mary Sawyer, wife of Joseph (15-ii.); Louisa Adeline Messenger, wife of David (43-v.), and then of Sarah Mead and Mary Russell, wives of John (58-i.) Lowe and the father of our Circle. Many letters have been written, and in almost every instance replies have been received; many have been very helpful, so many we cannot mention any special ones without naming a long list, and we would like to take this way of thanking them, one and all. We also wish Introduction. 9 to thank the memhers of the Circle for their assistance, and hope the book will prove satisfactory, interesting and profitable. The first design of the publication was for the use of the "John Lowe Family Circle," but as several outside have expressed a wish to possess a copy we hope it will be interesting to them as well. Henry A. May of Roslindale has found for us a coat of arms, a copy of which we have placed on the title page. The following are extracts from Mr. May's letter describing the coat of arms : . I have carefully gone over all the principal genealogical and heraldic books of England in Boston, and we have the best in America. I took each county and looked over the different county pedigrees for Low and Lowe. I found the principal county families of the name in Worcestershire, Derbyshire, Kent, Cheshire, Wiltshire, Nottinghamshire, Devonshire, Shropshire and London. The principal seat of the family was in W or­ cestershire, and afterwards Derbyshire and elsewhere. I found numerous Thomas and John Low and Lowe, mostly in Worcestershire, Derbyshire and London, but was unable to connect with our Thomas of Ipswich. My theory is that he came to America from London. There is the family of Low there at the time of his coming here, with his family names. This family in London was from W orces­ tershire, and all the generations there for centuries of the family names of Thomas's family. The name is spelt Low and Lowe in this family.

  • Massachusetts Interfaith Call for Carbon Pricing
    Massachusetts Interfaith Call for Carbon Pricing As clergy and religious leaders in Massachusetts, we urgently call upon our elected representatives to enact legislation placing a price on carbon that reflects its costs to the climate, public health, and the economy. While we come from diverse religious traditions, we share the conviction of Pope Francis that we bear a moral and spiritual responsibility to respond boldly to the climate crisis. Climate change threatens not only future generations, but also the most vulnerable of our neighbors today. As Pope Francis has affirmed, “There is an u rgent need to develo p po licies so that, in the next few years, the emissio n o f carbo n dio xide and o ther highly po llu ting gases can be drastically redu ced.” These po licies, Francis insists, mu st assu re that “the economic and social costs of using up shared environmental resources are recognized with transparency and fully borne by those who incur them, not by other peoples or future generations.” Pricing carbon is a fair and effective way to strengthen our economy, encourage use of clean and renewable energy, and protect our children and neighbors from the worst ravages of climate change. A carbon fee sends accurate price signals to the market, and rebating the revenues on an equal per-person basis progressively benefits low-income residents. (For more information, see http://climate- xchange.org/carbon-pricing-basics/.) May we leave a legacy for which our children and grandchildren will bless us. Please use your vote, voice, and influence to put a price on carbon.

  • Solar Is Working for Low-Income Communities
    Solar is working for low-income communities More than 90 leaders from organizations working in low-income communities, religious congregations, and universities call on state officials to expand solar energy and ensure its benefits are available to all Wednesday, October 28, 2015 Dear State Leaders, As community leaders, religious and spiritual leaders, community development organizations, academics, and researchers, we urge you to take immediate action to lift the net metering caps and maintain access to the benefits of solar for Massachusetts residents from all walks of life. In recent years, solar energy has grown rapidly in Massachusetts, with major benefits for communities across the state. Solar is helping to reduce pollution, keep electricity costs under control, and boost the state’s economy. Thanks to falling costs, innovative financing models and virtual net metering, solar is increasingly affordable and available to everyone. In fact, a preliminary analysis shows that almost 40 percent of residential solar systems are installed in communities with incomes at or below the state median of $68,866, in addition to community shared solar or other virtually net metered projects that often serve low-income communities. In particular, low-income communities are currently benefitting from solar energy in several ways: • Solar is helping to reduce the carbon emissions fueling global warming, which threatens to have a disproportionate impact on low-income communities. Solar energy also decreases harmful forms of air pollution that affect public health, especially in urban areas and communities near fossil fuel facilities. • Solar is good for our economy. Massachusetts’ booming solar industry now supports more than 12,000 jobs.

  • As We All Know Only Too Well, This Past Winter Was…A Doozy
    2016 Annual Report Providing free food for neighbors in need Bread of Life distributed about 1,056,000 meals in 2016 – an increase of 2.5% over the previous year - helping eliminate hunger locally. We invest our resources and volunteers in ending hunger right here in our neighborhoods. Low income families find it difficult to make ends meet – to pay for housing, utilities, medical costs, clothing, schooling, etc. and still have money for food. Rents and housing purchase prices are high. Many families have people working one or more part-time jobs with few or no benefits. Others are experiencing unemployment. Still others are living on Social Security, disability income, or Transitional Assistance income for families. BOL helps these families put food on the table so they can pay their rent or mortgage, utility bills, medical bills, and other essentials. Food Pantries: helping struggling families – our Malden Food Pantry (serving 10 communities) provided about 579,000 meals and our Everett Food Pantry provided about 100,100 meals in 2016 (as groceries). Our Malden Food Pantry served approximately 1,660 separate households last year, made up of about 4,730 men, women & children, with the total number of visits over the year being about 25,810. Our Malden Food Pantry is located at 54 Eastern Avenue, Malden, and is open every Wednesday (4-6 pm) and Friday (2-4 pm). We serve low-income people who are working or unemployed, retired, disabled or homeless. Malden families comprise about 60% of those served; Everett 31%; Medford 5%; Melrose 3%; and the remainder are from Stoneham, Saugus, Wakefield, Reading, North Reading and Winchester.

HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.
