Notes [edit]

  1. ^ a b William Woodbridge resigned on August 9, 1820. Solomon Sibley succeeded Woodbridge as Delegate of Michigan Territory.
  2. ^ Isaac E. Crary was the first elected member of the U.S. House of Representatives from the state of Michigan, elected October 5 and 6, 1835. However, due to Michigan’s dispute with Ohio over the Toledo Strip, Congress refused to accept his credentials until it admitted Michigan to the Union as a state on January 26, 1837.
  3. ^ Edward Bradley was elected November 3, 1846, but died August 5, 1847 in New York City, while en route to Washington, D.C. to take office; Charles E. Stuart was elected November 2, 1847 to fill the vacancy.
  4. ^ William Sprague was elected on a Free Soil Party ticket and was seated with the Whigs in Congress.
  5. ^ a b George B. Cooper won the election of November 2, 1858, and was seated by the U.S. House of Representatives. William A. Howard contested the results in the House, alleging voting irregularities in several wards. Following its investigation, the U.S. House Committee on Elections reported that the sitting member, Cooper, was not entitled to his seat and that the contestant Howard was. The House passed resolutions to that effect May 15, 1860, at which time Howard took the oath of office.
  6. ^ a b Thomas W. Ferry was re-elected to the House in the general election November 8, 1870. The Michigan Legislature subsequently elected him to U.S. Senate January 18, 1871; Wilder D. Foster was elected April 4, 1871 to fill the vacancy in the House.
  7. ^ Wilder D. Foster died September 20, 1873. William B. Williams was elected November 4, 1873 to fill the vacancy.
  8. ^ Alpheus S. Williams died December 28, 1878. The vacancy was not filled.
  9. ^ Omar D. Conger was re-elected to the House in the general election, November 2, 1880. He was subsequently elected by the Michigan State Legislature to the U.S. Senate January 18, 1881. John T. Rich was elected April 4, 1881 to fill the vacancy in the House.
  10. ^ a b c d e f g Some candidates were elected as Fusion candidates, but were seated in Congress with the Democratic Party: Justin R. Whiting 1886, 1888, and 1890 (he was elected as a Democrat in 1892); Timothy E. Tarsney in 1884 and 1886; Edwin B. Winans in 1882 and 1884; William C. Maybury in 1882 and 1884; Ezra C. Carleton in 1882 and 1884; George L. Yaple in 1882; Julius Houseman in 1882.
  11. ^ Nathaniel B. Eldredge was elected on a Democratic and Union ticket in 1884 to the 49th Congress.
  12. ^ Seth C. Moffatt died December 22, 1887. Henry W. Seymour was elected to fill the vacancy February 14, 1888.
  13. ^ a b John L. Chipman died August 17, 1893. Levi T. Griffin was elected November 7, 1893 to fill the vacancy.
  14. ^ a b Melbourne H. Ford died April 20, 1891. Charles E. Belknap was elected November 3, 1891 to fill the vacancy.
  15. ^ Byron G. Stout was elected on a Democratic and Union ticket in 1890 to the 52nd Congress.
  16. ^ a b Julius C. Burrows was re-elected to the House of Representatives for the 54th Congress in the general election of November 1894. The Michigan Legislature elected Burrows to the U.S. Senate on January 16, 1895 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Francis B. Stockbridge (succeeding John Patton, Jr. who had been appointed as an interim replacement by Michigan Governor John T. Rich). Alfred Milnes was elected in a special election on April 18, 1895 to fill vacancy in the House.
  17. ^ George F. Richardson won the November 8, 1892, general election by a plurality of 10 votes, receiving a certificate of election from the board of state canvassers. The defeated candidate, incumbent Charles E. Belknap, requested a recount in Ionia County, alleging irregularities. The Michigan Supreme Court ordered the recount on February 3, 1893, which subsequently resulted in a plurality of 19 votes for Belknap. The new board of state canvassers then issued a certificate of election to Belknap. The contest was brought to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on August 8, 1893. Following debate on the validity of the contestants’ credentials, the House voted to seat Richardson, referring the matter to the U.S. House Committee on Elections. Following further examination, the committee issued a report upholding Richardson’s claim to the seat.

Olin Young presented credentials as a Member-elect to the Sixty-third Congress and served from March 4, 1913, until his resignation, effective May 16, 1913, while a contest for the seat was pending. Due to a mistake in how the name of William Josiah MacDonald appeared on the ballot in Ontonagon County, some votes were not included in the official count by the state board of canvassers, even though their inclusion in unofficial returns showed MacDonald had won.

Finally, the U.S. House Committee on Elections decided to conduct a recount, which gave Beakes the victory by 132 votes.
