February 26, 1861
The son of Samuel and Hannah Lowell (Jackson) Cabot, Godfrey Lowell Cabot is born at 11 Park Square, Godfrey Lowell Cabot graduates from Harvard college, marries Maria Buckminster Moors in 1890 and subsequently lives at 242 Beacon Street. Appointed a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve Flying Corps in 1917, he begins daily flights between Gloucester to Minot’s Light in search of German submarines, and leads the investigation of the Mishawum Manor scandal in 1922. Somewhat brusque, Cabot’s biographer Leon Harris subsequently describes him quoting an old Boston saying, “‘The Cabots are a Massachusetts tribe known to have many customs but no manners.'” Cabot dies in Boston on November 2, 1962.
