John Lowell [1743-1802] was a lawyer, selectman, jurist, delegate to the 
Congress of the Confederation and federal judge. “Known within his 
family as “The Old Judge,” distinguishing him from the proliferation of 
Johns, John Lowell is considered to be the patriarch of the Boston 
Lowells. He, with each of his three wives, established three distinct 
lines of the Lowell clan that, in turn, propagated celebrated poets, 
authors, jurists, educators, merchants, bankers, national heroes, 
activists, innovators and philanthropists”.

affecting the text.  [43540]  $125
