1. Smith was elected president on January 8, 1787, to replace Plater, who had a leave of absence. Plater was reelected president for the second session, but was granted another leave of absence on May 20, 1787, and Carroll was chosen to replace him.
2. Forrest was declared ineligible at the time of election "for the want of residence." He was discharged on January 15.
3. It is presumed that the full name of this delegate was Francis Jenkins Henry.
