From the record
“The Benjamin Lundy House is a historic house at Union and Market Streets in Mount Pleasant, Ohio. It was home in 1820 to abolitionist Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839), where he established the influential anti-slavery newspaper The Genius of Universal Emancipation, one of the first anti-slavery publications in the United States.”

Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 142 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Lundy, Benjamin, House between 1876 and
1965: 133 Animalia, 7 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by Arden R. Gaufin, C.H. Kennedy, Calkins, W. W. and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.
