Lea, Thomas G. (Thomas Gibson), 1785-1844
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.
