1 In England from 1694 to 1696 on official business and did not sit in the second through sixth sessions of this Assem-
bly.
Randolph, surveyor general of customs, was not a resident colonist. He was in Maryland for only the first three ses-
sions of the Assembly.
1 Robert Smith became ill during the fourth session, resigned the speakership, and returned home. Cheseldyne was im-
mediately elected to replace him.
* Johns and Edmondson were dismissed from the first session, because as Quakers they were unable to subscribe to the
oaths required of delegates. Coode was dismissed from the seventh session after a prolonged debate, because as a for-
mer minister he was ruled ineligible by English law to sit in the Assembly.
1 His election was ruled invalid because there was no official vacancy; the voters were apparently seeking to replace
John Watson, who was in England in 1696.
4 Prince George's, recently established as a county, had its first representation at the fifth session. One of its delegates,
William Hutchinson, previously sat from Charles County. Confusion over his status led to the election of Thomas Hol-
lyday to the seventh session, but that election was declared invalid because no vacancy existed.
