Notes:
1. Howard District was created
from Anne Arundel
County by Chapter 22, Acts of 1838 (confirmed by Chapter 49, Acts of
1839;
further authorized by Chapter 98, Acts of 1839). Although it had no
representation
in the General Assembly, the District had the status of a county, with
its own court, sheriff, register of wills, and other county officers.
It
officially was formed as a county in 1851 (Constitution of 1851, Art.
VIII,
sec. I).
2. Kuhn died January 2, 1932, and was succeeded by Mellor, who was later elected to a full term.
