Notes

  1. From secession until readmission to the Union, Arkansas did not participate in the U.S. Congress.
  2. 1st district incumbent Thomas Carmichael Hindman (D) was re-elected to the 37th Congress, but chose not to take his seat.
  3. 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.
  4. McRae was elected to fill the vacancy caused by James K. Jones, who had been elected to the next term, but resigned before this Congress.
  5. 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 died before the contest was complete, so the House declared the seat vacant. Breckinridge was then re-elected to finish the term.
  6. Elected to fill the vacancy caused by the previous representative's death before the term began.
  7. Died
  8. Resigned
  9. Augustus H. Garland presented credentials as a senator-elect to the 40th Congress but was not permitted to serve.
  10. Heiskell was appointed to the office and served until an elected successor qualified.
