At its meeting in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on 20 October 2012, the American Society of Genealogists voted to give their annual Donald Lines Jacobus Award to The Descendants of Judge John Lowell of Newburyport, Massachusetts, by Scott C. Steward and Christopher C. Child.
Published by the Newbury Street Press of the New England Historic Genealogical Society in 2011, this genealogy treats some fourteen generations of Lowells, beginning with their English origins, following a line of descent from Percival1 Lowell to Judge John6 Lowell of Newburyport, and then branching out, treating descendants of John’s six children down to the present day. Generously illustrated, this book begins with short biographical accounts of some of the more renowned members of the family, of which there are many. It then presents 1089 family sketches with meticulous documentation.
