In Deed Book No. 1, page 249, Henry Bowen and Thomas Wit- ten, who are Commissioners for holding the election for President and Vice President of the United States, certified that at the elec- tion ,held on the first Monday in November, 1804, that there were twenty four Electors on the Presidental Ticket, each one of whom received forty-nine votes in Tazewell County. The names of said Electors are given, among whom is General John Preston of Mont- gomery County. It will be seen from this record that a very small number of the voters of Tazewell County participated in this elec- tion, in which Thomas Jefferson was elected for the second time as President of the United States. The electors on this ticket received the solid vote of Tazewell County. William Mckinley was an Elector on this ticket.
