SENATORS FROM CLINCH COUNTY AND THE FIFTH


SENATORIAL DISTRICT.


NOTE : From 1845 to 1852 senators were elected from dis-


tricts, but in 1852 this was changed back to the old way and each county elected a senator. This remained so until 1860. Then Clinch County was embraced in the fifth senatorial district.
