Best Answer

George Washington seated a total of ten individual US Supreme Court justices to eleven positions during his presidency; eight were associate justices and three were Chief Justices. The discrepancy in count is due to John Rutledge being named to two non-consecutive positions on the court: Rutledge was an Associate Justice from 1790-1791 (but never actually served) and Chief Justice from July-December 1795 (recess appointment rejected by the Senate).

Associate Justices

  1. James Wilson...................1789 - 1798
  2. William Cushing................1790 - 1810
  3. John Blair, Jr.....................1790 - 1795
  4. John Rutledge...................1790 - 1791
  5. James Iredell....................1790 - 1799
  6. Thomas Johnson................1792 - 1793
  7. William Paterson................1793 - 1806
  8. Samuel Chase...................1796 - 1811

Chief Justices

  1. John Jay............................1789 - 1795
  2. John Rutledge....................1795 - 1795
  3. Oliver Ellsworth..................1790 - 1795
