[Genealib] 1830 US places called Athens

[Trevia W Beverly]

I've forgotten (and deleted) the original request but as I recall it indicated the person being looked for lived in some town named Athens in the 1820s .....   misleading.

<<   My customer is trying to find correct Athens the owner of circa 1820 medical books and Civil War medical instruments lived in.  I appreciate your help.  >>

Thought I'd go further with this online since others might have the same/similar question. 

 Now that we know the connection is the owner who lived in Athens (wherever) at some unknown date but later that 1820, 

who had a collection of 1820s medical books and Civil War medical instruments.

I suggest you contact the National Museum of Civil War Medicine  http://www.civilwarmed.org/exhibits.cfm  Who knows but what some of this collection did not end up here?

Additional information can be found if you enter into your search engine terms such as "publisher of medical books in the 1820s"     I came up with some interesting items that you may want to pursue....

      www.upstate.edu/library/history/fnamlit19c.shtml 

   So my question is what books were they using??

            And I'm betting your client has some clues he/she could share with us that would lead to the person being sought!
