Winfield, I may be wrong, but I think Andrew Jackson served as a judge for like eight years at one point.

Also, will you be attempting to add exact dates to some of these? I know for a lot of these it's very difficult to ascertain, especially with smaller offices. However, with larger offices they're easily attainable, and ourcampaigns.com will give you the term beginning and end dates of certain elections. Also, I've perused some biographies that would provide certain important dates for things like Jefferson's time in VA politics.

1896

William McKinley OH Republican

1861-1865 Rank of Brevet General Civil War, 23rd Ohio Infantry
Last veteran of Civil War to be nominated for President by either major party
1875 Attended Republican convention that nominated Rutherford B Hayes for third term as Governor of OH, campaigned for Hayes in election
1876 Campaigned for Rutherford B Hayes in Presidential election
1877-1883 U.S. House of Representatives OH
1880 OH representative on Republican National Committee
1882 Presented his credentials as member-elect to 48th Congress, session 1883-1885, served March 4 1883-May 27 1884. Succeeded by Jonathan H. Wallace, who successfully contested his election.
1884 Delegate to Republican National Convention  
1885-1891 U.S. House of Representatives OH
1889 Sought election as Speaker of U.S. House of Representatives, lost
1892 Candidate for Republican Party nomination for President U.S., lost to Benjamin Harrison
1892-1896 Governor OH 1892-1896
Mar 4 1897-Sep 14 1901 President U.S., assassinated

I believe McKinley served as Attorney for Stark County back in the early 1870's or something like that. I want to say 1869 to 1871, but those may be his election years (losing 1871) and not his dates in office. I have a book at home I could refer to but I'm at college right now.

Cathcon,  thank you, you are correct.  I have made the addition.

McKinley was indeed Prosecuting Attorney for Stark County 1869-1871 and defeated for reelection in 1871.

What an incredible memory you must have to remember these details.

Thank you for following these entries. 

I only have 100 more years to go. 

Sure man. I pop in from time to time, and McKinley's a subject of interest for me.
