Montgomery County in the NY State Assembly

1777 - 1877

From: The History of Montgomery and Fulton Counties, by F.W. Beers, 1878.

"Until 1846 each county, except Hamilton, elected one or more members of Assembly annually, the number being designated from time to time by law. The number alloted to Tryon, afterward Montgomery county, under the several apportionments, together with the names of the members and dates of their election, so far as can be ascertained, will appear from the following statement:"
