Thurlow Weed (1797-1882) was a New York newspaper publisher and Anti-Masonic, Whig, and later Republican politician. He eventually launched five influential political newspapers in New York State, including the Norwich Agriculturist, Onondaga Republican, Rochester Daily Telegraph, the Anti-Masonic Enquirer, and the Albany Evening Journal. In 1863 Weed finally gave up the Evening Journal and moved to New York City where he became the editor of the Commercial Advertiser in 1867. However his return to journalism proved brief as failing health and eyesight caused him to retire.
