John Lowell, Jr. (May 11, 1799 – March 4, 1836) was a U.S. businessman, early philanthropist, and through his will, founder of the Lowell Institute. ==Family== Lowell was the son of pioneer industrialist Francis Cabot Lowell (1775–1817), one of the founders of the region's textile industry, and Hannah Jackson, sister of Patrick Tracy Jackson, another industrial pioneer. His grandfather and namesake, Judge John Lowell (1743–1802), referred to as ''The Old Judge'', served in the Congress of the Confederation in 1782 and was appointed later to federal benches by Presidents George Washington and John Adams.〔Lowell, Delmar. (1899) ''The Historic Genealogy of the Lowells of America from 1639 to 1899,'' Rutland VT: The Tuttle Company, pp. 118–119. ISBN 978-0-7884-1567-8.〕 After receiving his early education in the Boston public schools, young Lowell was taken by his father to Europe and placed at the high school of Edinburgh. In 1813, at the age of 14, he returned to America and entered Harvard College. Plagued with ill health, he left college after two years and entered his family’s mercantile firm, sailing before the mast to India, the East Indies, and England.〔Greenslet, Ferris.
