1. The governor convened the General Assembly on November 1, 1779. The
House adjourned daily until November 8, when a quorum was gathered. Recorded
proceedings for the Senate begin on November 8.
2. Tilghman was elected president at the beginning of the third session
to replace Jenifer who was attending Congress. Jenifer returned from Congress
on June 14 and was reelected to the presidency on June 15, 1780.
3. John Taylor was discharged and fined on November 10, 1779, because,
even though he was sheriff of Harford County, he had conducted his own
election, received votes for himself, and signed the return which named
him a delegate. A new election was held, and on March 25, 1780, Taylor
was reported reelected. He was again ruled ineligible, however, because
at the time of the second election he was collector of the tax for Harford
County. A third election was held on April 12, by which time Taylor no
longer held any government office. He was again reelected, and qualified
on April 25, 1780.
4. John Stull was discharged on November 9, 1779, for being a field
officer at the time of his election.
