¹ The proprietor arrived during the winter of 1732 and assumed the office of governor. Ogle was appointed and sworm
to the Council on March 21, 1732/33. He was listed in the first position of the Council and Upper House before
Charles Calvert (the councilor), who had previously held that position. Ogle used the title of president in correspon-
dence during his term on the Council and in the Upper House. He reassumed the office of governor on June 20, 1733.
After the death of Charles Calvert (the councilor) in February 1733/34, John Hall assumed the first position on the
Council and in the Upper House.

² Dulany, Beale, Gale, and Gordon were discharged by the Lower House on March 25, 1734, for receiving places of
trust and profit from the government after their elections. Governor Ogle then dissolved the entire Assembly in objec-
tion to this action.

³ Robert Gordon and Vachel Denton received an equal number of votes in the original election. Although Gordon was
declared the winner and appeared in the Lower House as one of the Annapolis delegates, the election was disputed. On
July 19, 1732, it was determined that Gordon had not been duly elected because of improper procedures. Gordon, how-
ever, won the subsequent election and was requalified one week later on July 26, 1732.

⁴ The original committee members named in the first session were reappointed in the second session and again in the
convention, but they were not specifically named. It is presumed that Smith, who was added to the Committee of Ac-
counts in the middle of the first session, was not included in the reappointments. Likewise, it is assumed that Golds-
borough, who was added to the Committee of Laws in the middle of the second session, was not included in the reap-
pointments made in the convention.
