John Lowe (1824- ) of Fitchburg, Mass., married Sarah Mead and had twelve children. When she died, he married Mary A. Russell, his brother's widow, and had five more children. The immigrant ancestor of this family was Thomas who came to Massachusetts from England in 1630. Most of John's descendants were living in Massachusetts when the book was compiled.

John Lowe (b.1824), a direct descendant in the eighth generation, settled in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Descendants of Thomas lived chiefly in New England. Includes constitution of the John Lowe Family Circle.
