list Aug 20 1866 gives Thomas Richards, same address. Two different people, or the same?
1876.01.11 says Thomas - I assume it is the same person, and have put Franklin Thomas in first name on strength of this, though it was never written that way - it is still possible there were actually two, as the father is called Thomas [see below]

is this the person named in the minutes as the proprietor of the Anthropological Review??
