The "well-known actual [male] people" in this book (omitting Melville and Hawthorne) are Robert Lowell, the poet, and Hershel Parker, The Biographer. We are blood kin, not too very distant. Lowell is my 7th cousin once removed through the Hills, Neighbors, and Traills. Geni says Charles T. Traill Sr. is my 6th Great Grandfather. I never knew him. Bachelder and Habel never mention our kinship.
