Congress 1st 2nd 3rd 4th
District

  1. ^ Died in office
  2. ^ Resigned
  3. ^ From secession until readmission to the Union, Arkansas did not participate in the U.S. Congress.
  4. ^ Augustus H. Garland presented credentials as a senator-elect to the 40th Congress but was not perm
  5. ^ Heiskell was appointed to the office and served until an elected successor qualified.
  6. ^ Thomas Carmichael Hindman was elected to the 37th Congress, but chose not to take his seat.
  7. ^ Anthony A. C. Rogers was elected to the 38th Congress but was not permitted to take his seat because Arkansas had not been re-admitted to the Union.
  8. ^ Defeated previous representative.
  9. ^ McRae was elected to fill the vacancy caused by James K. Jones, who had been elected to the next term, but resigned before the term began. Because the districts were redrawn for the 1884 election, this is not accurately reflected in the chart.
  10. ^ Breckinridge was initially declared elected to the 51st United States Congress and took his seat. John M. Clayton eventually won a contest before the U.S. House, but Clayton died before the contest was complete, so the House declared the seat vacant. Breckinridge was then re-elected to the seat.
  11. ^ Elected to fill the vacancy caused by the previous representative's death before the term began.
