- ↑ Resigned to be U.S. Postmaster General.
- ↑ Resigned to be Minister to Mexico.
- ↑ 8.0 8.1 William Bebb's term officially ended in December 1848. However, due to the large number of close elections that year, the general assembly was delayed in qualifying governor-elect Seabury Ford, and William Bebb remained in office for an extra few weeks.
- ↑ Wood's first term was truncated to one year, due to the 1851 constitution moving elections one year back to odd-numbered years.
