• lineage_id: 86
• proprietors: William Shelton
• start_date: November 20, 1811
• variant_number: Richmond 18-01
• notes: Only known copy held by Wisconsin Historical Society is inaugural issue (vol. 1, no. 1), so start date reported here; title not recorded by U.S. Newspaper Project, although the WHS copy was assigned a LCCN number (84-024504) during course of that project. Latest date of publication known from "extra" edition issued the morning after the Richmond Theater Fire (December 26, 1811), which was the initial notice of that event cited by an apparent majority of American newspapers then in print; longevity of the paper after that issue is unknowable without further evidence, though it likely continued into 1812.
