New International Encyclopedia states that he was born in Boston, the son of Judge John Lowell. He may have been brought to Newburyport soon after his birth in Boston.TooPotato 01:25, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Please cite the image shown. I grew up in Lowell, MA and am an avid Lowell history buff. I have always heard and read that NO PICTURES of FC Lowell survived to this day. In fact all I've seen is a silouhette.

This must've been fixed at some point, as the picture shown is of the Waltham Mill. I too have heard there are no pictures of Lowell. Which is odd - you'd think a man who has a 100,000 resident city named after him would have some sort of existing image around or a statue or something. Nope. CSZero 17:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I recently read somewhere that Francis Cabot Lowell was responsible for the leakage of mill designs in America. But I have also read the Samuel Slater was responsible. Should I include this in the article??? Maybe the two worked together. Im not completely sure but I will research it somemore —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.2.137 (talk) 17:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
