[NHCOLL-L:4930] looking for biographical information for Francis Spencer Dayton

[Dawn Roberts]

Hello,

 

We are looking for biographical information about one of our collectors
after having come up fairly dry through typical avenues of research. 

 

Francis Spencer Dayton is associated with our ornithology collection,
having collected eggs and some birds around 1880-1900 in the Midwest
region. He seems to have done some field collecting with E. Spear (or
Spere). He served as Vicar and Reverend in the Protestant Episcopal
Church in Wisconsin. 

 

That is the extent of our knowledge about this collector - if you have
additional information, we would greatly appreciate your help!

 

Thank you,
Dawn
