(Read June 10, 1818) ( BHL link) During their years in New Harmony both Thomas Say and naturalist Charles-Alexandre Lesueur experienced considerable difficulties. Sorely needed scientific equipment, publications, and correspondence were often much delayed. The problem was brought to the attention of William Maclure, who wrote from Mexico in June 1831 to Reuben Haines, contrasting the conditions for the two naturalists in the two locations.

On January 4, 1827, Say secretly married Lucy Way Sistare, whom he had met as one of the passengers to New Harmony, near the settlement. She was an artist and illustrator of specimens, as in the book American Conchology, and was elected as the first woman member of the Academy of Natural Sciences. Say died, apparently from typhoid fever, in New Harmony on 10 October 1834, when he was 47 years old. In New Harmony, Say continued his descriptions of insects and mollusks, culminating in two classics: Thomas Say, American Conchology, or Descriptions of the Shells of North America Illustrated From Coloured Figures From Original Drawings Executed from Nature, Parts 1 - 6, New Harmony, 1830-1834; Part 7, Philadelphia, 1836.
