Members of the
2nd General Assembly - 1776 to 1778 |
| There are no extant journals for the second general
assembly, which sat from 1776 to 1778. This list has been reconstructed
from reports of elections in parish records, newspapers, and
treasury records. The number of names exceeds the numbers of
seats, but this is adequately accounted for by the number of
members who declined to serve or who filled unexpired terms. |
