1 Talbot returned to England and Ireland after the first session; Calvert had succeeded Talbot as secretary by the third
session.
2 Fitzherbert apparently left the colony permanently after the second session.
3 In England during the second session; promoted to the Upper House before the Assembly reconvened in 1674.
4 Questions arose in this Assembly of replacing delegates who were temporarily or permanently out of the colony.
When Henry Trippe was absent from the second session, Dorchester County's justices or freemen elected a replace-
ment, identity unknown, who apparently was never seated by the Lower House. By the third session Calvert County
voters had replaced Richard Perry and Daniel Jenifer, who had moved to England and Virginia respectively. It is un-
certain whether William Ford of Dorchester County was a third delegate, or was replacing Daniel Clarke, who did not
attend the fourth session but was still alive. John Vanhack ceased serving from Baltimore County when he was elected
as a burgess from newly erected Cecil County in 1674/75. Thomas Todd and George Wells probably replaced both him
and James Browne at the fourth session.
5 Warren died before the first session convened; Browne went to New England; Dixon and London never attended,
perhaps because of Somerset County's expressed desire to send only two delegates for financial reasons.
6 Somerset and Dorchester both requested that they be allowed to send only two delegates due to the heavy financial
burden their expenses placed on newer counties.
7 Representation for St. Mary's City was first granted at the second session as an act of Governor Calvert to ensure the
presence in the Assembly of John Morecroft and Thomas Notley, two devoted proprietary supporters.
8 Cecil County, created in 1674, sent its first delegates to the fourth session.
9 Lower House membership on the Committee of Accounts at the first session is unknown.
10 Lower House membership on the Committee of Laws, which first appeared at the second session, is unknown for that
session. Two committees sat in the third session, with men marked (3a) serving early in the session and those marked
(3b) working on legislation late in the session. The entire Upper House met in conference with the Lower House mem-
bers at the fourth session.
