From the Stowell Genealogy:88
    Israel was surveyor of highways, 4 March 1733, selectman in 1741-49-50-52-58-63. Was on school committee, 7 March 1748. Ten deeds in Suffolk and Middlesex Counties describe him as of Newton and spell the name Stowell. ...
    The three brothers, Israel, Joseph and Enoch Stowell, sons of Israel, went in 1764 to Winchester, N. H. and became the progenitors of about one quarter of all the Stowells ...
    They evidently cut loose from their old Newton home for on the 27 May 1776, they sold, their wives releasing dowers, to their brother Abijah Stowell “all their rights in the estate of their father, Israel Stowell, late of Newton.”
    They were active in organizing towns and in forming the new state and were ardent patriots in the Revolution. Later their numerous descendants went to New York and the West and were active there in building up new communities.
