Republican Farmer

• id: 415
• end_date: ca. May 1810
• frequency: Weekly
• lineage_id: 100
• proprietors: William G. Lyford
• start_date: ca. May 12, 1809
• variant_number: Staunton 06-02
• notes: Title altered "after the first week in May," so calculated date reported here, as no Lyford numbers after February 1809 survive. Date of subsequent sale of his paper to Isaac Collett uncertain; bankruptcy of paper mill supplying all Staunton papers in early 1810 compelled suspension of his Republican competitor from February to June that year, so likely also point when Lyford ceased publishing his weekly, with sale coming later. Earliest surviving Collett number reveals paper's third volume/year began September 5, 1810, suggesting a lengthy suspension of publication during paper-shortage and transition to Collett.
