He was born in Bristol, England and she was born in Yarmouth, England.  They both are buried at the First Settlers Cemetery Newbury, MA.   He had been a merchant in Bristol, England owning the Percival Lowell Company. The firm was composed of the father, his sons John and Richard and possibly William Gerrish, who came over with the Lowell's. William Gerrish subsequently married Percival's daughter, Mrs Joanna Oliver, a widow. They came to America on the ship "Johnathan". when Percival was 68 years of age. Percival and his family had means when they arrived in this country and purchased real estate quite extensively in Newbury, MA.  They came to this country to seek religous freedom.   At that time Charles I was on the throne and caused such oppressive actions that the Massachusetts Bay Colony was chartered.  In the next twelve years more that 20,000 Puritans left the Mother Country for the New England wilderness.  In 1648 he took the Oath of Allegiance as did all citizens of Massachusetts above the age of 16.   he had been a freeholder since 1642 and been an organizer of the town of Newbury with the other 90 proprietors at that time. He was a man of unusual ability and attainments of his day and wrote a poem upon the death of Gov. Winthrop of Massachusetts. His wife Rebecca was the daughter of John Goodale and wife.
