¹ The Assembly met only during the dates listed and was otherwise in adjournment.

²Membership is listed generally in order of appearance. Many of the men attended for only a brief period, while others

attended regularly. Twenty-four men, who did not attend personally, were represented by proxies.

³ The clerk erred several times the first day of the first session in referring to "Captain Robert Evelyn" as commander

of Kent Isle. The commander was actually George Evelyn, commissioned in December 1637. By the second day of the

session, the error was noted and Robert Evelyn was no longer referred to as commander of Kent Isle, although a man

of that name did attend subsequent assemblies.

⁴ Robert Philpott, Thomas Bradnox, and Edward Beckler were elected to this Assembly to represent the freemen of

Kent Isle. The freemen were also eligible to attend, however, and several did.

⁵ A carpenter named John Robinson attended this Assembly, but a second man with the same name may also have

been present.

⁶ This was an elected committee charged with drafting legislation. Each person voted for five members and these were

the five men with the most votes, in order of strength. Later in the session, a smaller committee of three men—Thomas

Cornwaleys, Leonard Calvert, and George Evelyn—was elected to prepare laws.
