Biographical History
Thomas Gibson Lea was born in Wilmington, Delaware, of Quaker descent, and lived much of his life in Ohio. He worked as a merchant until 1827, when he devoted his full time and attention to botany. An enthusiastic collector, his large, partially cataloged collection of plants included many new species; it was published posthumously by William S. Sullivan.
Thomas Lea lived in the Pittsburgh area until his marriage in 1822 when he moved to Cincinnati. He was a naturalist interested in botany.
