The society aims to document, research, and make accessible the lineage and heritage of the Tower name, fostering connections among relatives and enthusiasts alike. Over the years, the society has organized events, published newsletters, and created databases to assist individuals in tracing their family roots.


Originator: John Tower

John Tower, the society’s pivotal figure, was born in England and migrated to America in 1637. Settling in Massachusetts, he played a significant role in the early colonial community. John Tower’s contributions not only included settlement and family growth but also the establishment of familial ties that would influence generations to come. His legacy and those of his descendants are a focal point for the society, exemplifying the importance of heritage and family connections in understanding one’s background.
