EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

November 10, 1778-November 8, 1779

Thomas Sim Lee James Brice Daniel Carroll
Edward Lloyd James Hindman (R)

1 The governor convened the General Assembly on October 19, 1778. Recorded proceedings for the Senate begin on

October 29, and for the House on October 26.

2 The governor convened the General Assembly on March 2, 1779. Recorded proceedings for both the Senate and the

House begin on March 9.

3 The governor convened the General Assembly on July 15, 1779. Recorded proceedings for the Senate begin on July

20, and for the House on July 22.

4 Mackall was discharged on October 28, 1778, because he was not a resident of Calvert County at the time of his elec-
tion.

5 John Stevens was declared illegally elected on November 7, 1778, because of improper procedures by the sheriff. Ac-
cording to information given by John Gibson, the sheriff had "struck out the names of several voters who voted for the
said Gibson," and "permitted a number of persons to vote ..... who had not taken the (prescribed) oath." The House
ordered the sheriff to erase the name of John Stevens from his election return and insert the name of John Gibson.

6 The House determined that James McComas was ineligible for a seat because he had not resigned his colonel's com-
mission until the third day of the election. He was discharged on October 30, 1778, but was reelected and returned on
November 25.

7 According to information supplied by the sitting members from Caroline County, Matthew Driver "desired the people
not to elect him, for that he was a field officer and would not resign his commission, and consequently could not serve
them." Driver was discharged on October 28, 1778.

8 During this Assembly a committee was established "to examine the returns of the commissioners of the tax from the
several counties of this state." There is no evidence that the Committee of Grievances and Courts of Justice and the
Committee to Examine the Tax Commissioners' Returns functioned during the second session, nor that the Committee
on Manufactories functioned during the second or third sessions.
