Percival Lowell's Royal Ancestry

[Douglas Richardson]

Dear Newsgroup ~

The following new "gateway" royal line for the New World immigrant,
Percival Lowell, was featured in the recent October 2003 issue of the
New England Historical & Genealogical Register (NEHGR) [vol. 157,
pages 309–319]. The line below sets forth one of Percival Lowell's
two descents from King Edward I of England. For further details of
Percival Lowell's extensive ancestry, see my forthcoming book,
Plantagenet Ancestry. Please contact me at the e-mail address below

Doug thank you for your good post it is great to see that there are Royal
Lines still be found. Does anyone know if there has been any other Royal Lines
found last year.
Sincerely Yours,
Mike

These new Lowell lines from Edw I delight me. (My son-in-law has the line,
not me.) I had a scribble that Walter Goodwin Davis researched the
Perceval line and they were not from nobility. Is the Henri I, king of
France, line OK, then? I didn't record my source. (Blush.)

Doug, as you know, I have a reinforced shelf just waiting for PA3. I knew
I'd need it when I saw your 2-notebook draft in May 2003. Care to give the
list a progress report on your new book?

Cheers, Dolly in Maryland USA

I saw the article, Douglas, very nice. I assume the famous 19th century
planetary astronomer Percival Lowell is related, but you didn't mention
it in your article. Lowell observatory in Arizona was founded by him.
