On his safe return he ate "some water melon with us" before she and Caty "run together calico for a bed quilt, which is to be quilted by Caty and I."

After attending meeting in August, 1760, "Sammy Sansom came home with me." She was ill that month but Sammy called a few times in a two-week period. They announced their intentions at Meeting (a rather rigorous Quaker prenuptial vetting) and married in the spring, moving to a house they'd been fitting up.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sammy outlived his wife by over 20 years dying in his 80s in 1824. He never remarried. Hannah's short entries over the years seem to record a pleasant, "agreeable" life together with their four surviving children (a young daughter died after a smallpox inoculation.) Hannah never complained of her husband's meanness (either temperamentally or financially) or any money anxieties. She spent a good deal of social time with his parents noting that with Mrs. Sansom she had two "Mame's" (pronounced Mommy to match her frequent references to her Daddy?)

Early in February, 1781, he began hanging around twenty-three year old Anna Rawle, insisting she meet with him for hours every day in order to learn French....She soon tired of his constant attention, writing to her mother...'I have said a great deal about taking up his time and proposed ....to go seldomer." </blockquote></div><div>Anna then continued to meet with Sammy and wife Hannah.

Great Britain's stranglehold on American cotton textile manufacturing inspired him to visit England with wife Hannah Jackson in 1810. No British textile machinery or plans to make it were permitted to be exported to the States, incentive for Lowell to observe closely in the mills he visited in his two years in England.*<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotDBrULa6N5yWjwB6EJjDp5mFVx1Pkhm7WY8CK0R0BoNre28fzt3QLE3M849GgE2SjSBM2TlV3Sg0Z8dotsxx-UbeC_wjg7dSobweuW9P6uNgYvNnxRvAyUBioMXCRd0YuwgNYlc9ml6_PvK_l1RN2qVtR8oPI0UFQLha6xc-Sq9hZHGm_kiEG2RPk-nU/s598/Power%20LoomWeaving.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="537" data-original-width="598" height="359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotDBrULa6N5yWjwB6EJjDp5mFVx1Pkhm7WY8CK0R0BoNre28fzt3QLE3M849GgE2SjSBM2TlV3Sg0Z8dotsxx-UbeC_wjg7dSobweuW9P6uNgYvNnxRvAyUBioMXCRd0YuwgNYlc9ml6_PvK_l1RN2qVtR8oPI0UFQLha6xc-Sq9hZHGm_kiEG2RPk-nU/w400-h359/Power%20LoomWeaving.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>English power loom weaving cotton</i></div><div><div><br /></div><div>The Lowells returned to Massachusetts in 1812. Francis and Hannah's brother Patrick Tracy Jackson purchased land in Waltham to build the Boston Manufacturing Company. They apparently invested $400,000 of their friends' and relatives' money in the mill.
