Can anyone advise on the following. In the early 1830s, were men sent to the New York Assembly elected for one-year or two-year terms? Also, in what month during the year were these elections held, and when did the terms actually begin? I am writing a biography on Delaware County's William Butler Ogden, who went on to fame and fortune building Chicago from 1835 to his death in 1877. He served in the Assembly in 1834-35 at the behest of the Albany Regency, to help promote legislative approval for building the New York and Erie Railroad. I would appreciate any information or references on this topic as well. Jack Harpster
