MEMBERSHIP IN THE

LOUISIANA

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1812 - 2024

Revised – July 28, 2021

David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library Louisiana House of Representatives

1 2 PREFACE

This publication is a result of research largely drawn from Journals of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Annual Reports of the Louisiana Secretary of State. Other information was obtained from the book, A Look at Louisiana's First Century: 1804-1903, by Leroy Willie, and used with the author's permission.

The David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library also maintains a database of House of Representatives membership from 1900 to the present at http://drplibrary.legis.la.gov . In addition to the information included in this biographical listing the database includes death dates when known, district numbers, links to resolutions honoring a representative, citations to resolutions prior to their availability on the legislative website, committee membership, and photographs. The database is an ongoing project and more information is included for recent years.

Early research reveals that the term county is interchanged with parish in many sources until 1815. In 1805 the Territory of Orleans was divided into counties. By 1807 an act was passed that divided the Orleans Territory into parishes as well. The counties were not abolished by the act. Both terms were used at the same time until 1845, when a new constitution was adopted and the term "parish" was used as the official political subdivision.

The legislature was elected every two years until 1880, when a sitting legislature was elected every four years thereafter. (See the chart near the end of this document.)

The War of 1812 started in June of 1812 and continued until a peace treaty in December of 1814. No legislature met in 1813. The historic Battle of New Orleans was fought in January of 1815, preventing a legislature from meeting in that year as well. During the Civil War there were two elected legislatures meeting simultaneously. (See the chart near the end of this document.)

In 1877 the Republican and Democratic parties convened two separate legislatures in New Orleans. The Republican legislature lost strength as a result of President Ulysses S. Grant refusing to send military forces to support the Republican legislature. In disappointment, many Republicans either changed party or simply decided to attend the Democratic legislature. Newly inaugurated president, Rutherford B. Hayes, withdrew all federal troops from Louisiana in April of 1877. This was the beginning of the end of the Reconstruction Era in Louisiana.

Membership lists for 1877 are based on the Journal for the 1877 Extraordinary Session. Information for the Regular Session is not available. Either the Journal was not published for that legislative session, or it has become a rare publication that cannot be found.

Members of the Orleans Parish delegation are listed by district number as well as political party from 1944 to the present. District numbers for East Baton Rouge, Jefferson, and Lafayette Parishes are listed beginning 2012. All districts are listed beginning with the 2016-2020 term. 3 This is a work in progress. As more information is found it is entered or corrected. Journals list the election and oath of office taken by legislators on the first day of a legislative session, in most cases. However, one must read the entire Journal proceedings for each session to learn of the death, resignation, election challenges, and unseating of members. This has not yet been done for all the years listed. The period from 1861 (Civil War) until 1880 (through Reconstruction) is especially difficult to research since there were Journals listing delegates, with no parish or party designation. During the Civil War, there were two legislatures meeting simultaneously, with few records documenting the Confederate legislature, which met in north Louisiana.

Additional information from the Louisiana public on the legislative membership is encouraged and invited by writing to: Library Director David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library P.O. Box 94012 Baton Rouge, LA 70804-9012

46Opelousas is one of the 12 original counties created in 1807. By 1807 there were parishes created from the counties, and both terms (counties and parishes) were used at the same time. Until 1845, Louisiana used the term county in many of its acts, but after that date, when a new constitution was adopted, Louisiana used "parishes" exclusively to designate political subdivisions. Opelousas is the name of a town now. 47Sometimes the last name is spelled "Chrentien". 173 1820-1822 Allen (unknown first name)...... Unknown Celestin Lavergne......

48Orleans was one of the original 12 counties created in 1807 from the Orleans Territory. In 1807, parishes were created from the counties, and the City of New Orleans was a parish within the county of Orleans. In 1845 the term "county" was dropped and the term Orleans Parish was most commonly used. In early 1800s research, Orleans Territory, county, and New Orleans City are often listed all together as one entry. 175 1818 Arnal (unknown first name)......

82 From territorial times, Louisiana was divided into counties. In 1807 the Orleans Territory was divided into 19 parishes, but they did not abolish the 12 original counties. From the original 19 parishes, there were another 37 parishes created. Some counties lost their names entirely when they were split and more than one new parish was established. In the early publications before 1880, it is difficult to tell if the writers refer to counties or parishes. 347 1845 Antoine Boudousquie ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST

83 The position of Speaker Pro Tempore in the Louisiana House of Representatives was created by House Resolution 1 of the 1972 Regular Session. House Resolution 1 provided for House Rule 6.1: The House of Representatives shall elect a Speaker Pro Tempore who shall assist the Speaker of the House, at the discretion of the Speaker, and who shall have such other powers, duties and functions as may be prescribed by the laws of the State or the House of Representatives. This resolution was adopted on the first day of the 1972 Regular Session and on the same date Mr. Raymond Laborde placed in nomination the name of Kenneth Leithman (seconded by Mr. Hainkel). Mr. Leithman was elected Speaker Pro Tempore by acclamation (House Journal May 8, 1972, p. 35). Since then, the Speakers Pro Tempore have been elected at the organizational meetings of the House of Representatives (Sources: Report of Committees, Select Committee, 1984 E.S., House Journal, March 19, 1984, p. 4; Report of Committees, Select Committee on the Organization of the House, 1988 1st E.S., House Journal, March 21, 1988, p.5; House Journals, 1992 and 1996 Organizational Sessions.)

From December of 1862 until January of 1863, an Extraordinary Session was held in Opelousas, Louisiana, near the Confederate military lines. This was a sitting Confederate Legislature which was elected apart from the U.S. Legislature.

In 1864, the Confederate States of America held the second legislative session in Shreveport, Louisiana. This session operated at the same time as the U.S. Louisiana Legislature, which was held in New Orleans.

In 1865 the Confederate States of America met once again in Shreveport, Louisiana. The U.S. Louisiana Legislature met in New Orleans in 1865.

At the end of the American Civil War, a Constitutional Convention was held in New Orleans on April 6, 1864, wherein a new Constitution was adopted and ratified by all the citizens (by September of that year).
