Elizabeth Lowell

John "the tanner" Lowell was married by Mr. Hatherley, in Scituate, Mass. Jan. 24, 1658/9 to Elizabeth Sylvester ("Silvester") of Scituate, Mass., b. Jan. 23, 1643/4, d. 1666, dau. of Richard and Naomi (Tarreyin) Sylvester.

Their children included:

• 16. III. JOHN4, b. in Scituate, Mass. April, 7, 1660, probably d. June 7, 1694, on the ship "Amity" of Boston. See under Joseph (10) ; m. Esther ___ He was probably a mariner, or importer of goods from Bristol, England, as he is designated as being of Bristol, Eng., when his Uncle Joseph (10) was appointed administrator of his estate in 1700. 1670 he chose Joseph Sylvester of Scituate, as his guardian.
• 17. IV. PETER4, b. in Scituate, Mass. 1661, bapt. Nov. 26, 1661.

The clerk's w's are said to be distinct, but his v's are often u's, hence Mrs. Dana, who has made search, thinks Samuel Beal m. a Patience Lovell, and that our Patience Lowell m. Jacob Dana, ancestor of the late eminent Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun.
• 20. VII. ELIZABETH4, b. in Scituate, Mass. 1664, d. soon.

"Richard Sylvester having three small children, he and his wife going to the assembly upon the Lord's day, left them at home. The oldest was without doors looking to some cattle. The middlemost, being a son of about five years old, seeing his father's fowling piece stand in the chimney, took it and laid it upon a stool as he had seen his father do, and pulled up the cock, the spring being weak, and put down the hammer, then went to the other end, and blowed in the mouth of the piece, as he had seen his father also do, and with that, stirring the piece, it went off and shot the child into the mouth and through his head. When the father came home, he found his child dead; the youngest child (being but three years old) showed the whole manner of it."

• SOME OF THESE DATES ARE NOT CORRECT AS JOHN LOWELL DIED January 7, 1694 & HIS WIFE ELIZABETH October 31, 1666 SO THEY COULD NOT HAVE lived in Boston until 1765, OR SIGNED A DEED IN 1700, ETC.
• *****FIRST GENERATION*****
• JOHN LOWELL -1, the tanner, is the ancestor of the Lovewell family of Dunstable. The date of his arrival in Boston is not definitely known. He was there in 1657, and January 24, 1658, he married in Scituate, Elizabeth Sylvester, born January 23, 1644, daughter of Richard and Naomi (Torrey) Sylvester of Scituate. The record of the publishment and of the marriage is at Scituate: "These are to Certyfy all those to Whom It may Conscirne that John Lowwell and Elizabeth Silvester hath Been Lawfully Published accordinge to law three Lecture Dayes. William Coursser. Witness, Henry Bridgman.John Lowwell abovesayed was Marryed to Elizabeth Silvester January the 24th 1658 pr Mr. Hatherly. In Seittuate." William Courser and Henry Bridgman were residents of Boston, where the intention of marriage was published three times. John Lowell and his wife, Elizabeth, lived in Boston until 1765, when they removed to Rehoboth. In 1669, he received grants of land in Rehoboth, where he lived until about 1680, when he removed to Lynn. After his removal from Rehoboth he was taxed a non-resident proprietor in that town about twenty years. He came from Lynn to Dunstable in 1682 or 1683. He and his sons, John and Joseph, were among the early settlers of the town and all were prominent in the affairs of the settlement. He was a selectman of Dunstable, 1689. If the records were complete it is reasonable to assume that he would have credit for other elections to office. During the troublous times of King William's War, his son, Joseph, and his three married daughters removed from Dunstable and in 1700, John, the father, and his wife, Elizabeth, were living in Sudbury. The date and place of his death have not been discovered. In 1700 then of Sudbury, he sold to William Woodcock of Re-hoboth four tracts of land in Scituate and Attleborough. Until 1694, Atticborough was a part of Rehoboth. The deed is dated at Sudbury, June 20, 1700, and is recorded in the Registry of Deeds at Taunton. His wife, Elizabeth, joined in the conveyance. The original name of this family was Lowell. A person is not responsible for the form in which his name is written by the clerks of churches and towns. In the record of his publishment and marriage, the name is Lowwell. The birth of two children of John and Elizabeth Lowell is recorded in Boston. Six children were baptized at the Second Church of Scituate, now Norwood. The name of the father is written John Lowel four times, and John Lowell two times. In records of Rehoboth appear John Lowell and John Lovell, while the Lynn record presents the form of John Lovill. His name in the deed of 1700 and his signature are written John Lovwell, and here is found the easy inflection from Lowwell to Lovewell. His children, and very uniformly his descendants in Dunstable and elsewhere, have written the name Lovewell. His wife, Elizabeth Sylvester, was a daughter of Richard and Naomi (Torrey) Sylvester of Scituate.
• Four of their six children were born in Boston and two in Rehoboth:
  • 1. +JOHN, born in Boston MA, April 7, 1660; baptized in Scituate MA, June 17, 1660.3.
  • 2. +JOSEPH, baptized, Scituate MA, May 25, 1662. There is no record of his birth. He was born in 1661.
  • 3. PATIENCE, born in Boston, October 7, 1662; baptized in Scituate, June 7, 1663. The Vital Records of Scituate, recently published, give the date of this baptism, June 7, 1662, but the original church records say June 7, 1663. She married in Lynn, March 28, 1682, Samuel Beale.
  • 4. ELIZABETH, born in Boston, 1664; baptized in Scituate MA, August 21, 1664. She married William Beale..
  • 5. PHEBE, born in Rehoboth, December 25, 1666; baptized in Scituate, August 11, 1667; married in Chelmsford, July 24, 1685, Andrew Cooke.
