The Eleventh Commons House of Assembly convened for at least four (4) known sessions. The first session met November 24th to December 17th in 1708. The second session met from February 1st to February 19th in 1709. The third session met from April 20th to May 6th in 1709. The fourth session met from October 19th to November 5th in 1709. This Assembly also met at least two more times - between November of 1709 and April of 1710 - because at least two Acts were ratified - one on January 14, 1710 and one on April 8, 1710. It is not currently possible to ascertain from which county all of the following delegates served because the information has yet to be found. Some can be surmised based on previous and future assemblies, but this Author leaves that up to the reader. |
