John Lowell, of Newbury

Researchers: The original Lowell and Lovell genealogies are a mess. Please read these latest works on the two families:

Some key points:

There is no known relationship between the families of John Lowell the cooper (grandson of Percival Lowell and son of John Lowell of Newbury) and John Lowell / Lovewell the tanner who was progenitor of the Lovewell family. None!

Also the first wife of John Lowell of Newbury (son of Percival) was MARY BAUGH.

John Lowell of Newbury 1604 – 1647 was the son of Percival Lowell 1571 – 1664 and Rebecca goodale 1575 – 1645. He was baptized on 1604 11 Oct in St. Mary's Church, Portbury, Somerset, England

There is some good history below this point but a lot of the genealogy below this point is wrong:

=====================================================================================

John Lowell came to New England 1639, with his father, bringing wife and four children. He was a man of good education for those early days; was a man of prominence and influence in the community. February 2, 1640, he was made freeman; was constable December 10, 1641; Deputy in the General Court March 7, 1644; was appointed May 14, 1645, as one of three Commissioners of this town to settle small disputes, involving less than 20 shillings, and re appointed, holding the position until his death; he held the office of town clerk at his death.

While yet in England he apprenticed himself in 1619, when 24 years of age, to Richard Baugh of Bristol, England, who was a "Glover." He was admitted as a citizen of Bristol, England in 1629. September 7, 1637, he had Richard Dole apprenticed to him for seven years. Dole came with the Lowell's to America and became a merchant of wealth and prominence in Newbury, where he settled. March 17, 1742, he, with his father, was a freeholder. (D. R. Lowell. 1899. The Historic Genealogy of the Lowells of America from 1639-1899)

Her request for the £10 was granted. (Mass. Records, Vol. Ill: p. 213). After receiving the money she suddenly changed her mind and m. Mr. Wyburn instead.

June 15, 1700, he, a cooper of Boston, was appointed administrator of the estate of his "nephew" John Lowle of Bristol, England, a mariner, lately deceased on board of ship "Amity" of Boston. This "nephew" probably was John (16) son of his brother John (6). Jan. 24, 1708, Joseph Rogers was appointed administrator of his estate which inventoried at £640. Rogers d. and Arthur Jeffrey, a merchant of Boston, was appointed in his place March 10, 1710; he also d. and John Ballentine, another merchant of Boston, was appointed in his stead April 17, 1712. 1695 he purchased a Negro of Benjamin Pemberton.
