¹ Although Jenkins was the senior councilor at the time of Governor Seymour's death in 1709, his colleagues argued
that he had relinguished his right to the presidency of the Council by "not taking any notice of the Government after
the Governour's death." The other councilors made Edward Lloyd, next in seniority, the president and thus the chief
executive officer of the colony for the next five years.

² Quarry served only briefly in the second and third sessions of this Assembly.

³ Dismissed from the first session, because as a man once in holy orders he was ineligible to sit in the Assembly.
⁴ Both Bathurst and Carvile were absent from the first session and died before the second session convened.

⁵ Election to the second session was voided because the sheriff denied a legally demanded poll by voters supporting
Charles Hammond, who was subsequently elected to fill this seat at the third session.
⁶ Neither the Cecil County nor the Dorchester County delegation attended the first session.

⁷ The delegates from Annapolis were not seated at the first session until the bill on the Annapolis charter had passed
the Assembly.

⁸ Dismissed from the second session because he had not met the three-year residency requirement when he was first
elected in November 1708; that requirement had been satisfied by October 1709, and he was immediately reelected to
the same seat.
