Most of the forty-two names are unpublished; however, the most famous of them was William Marbury, who petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus (a court order requiring an official to take a specified action) to compel delivery of his commission in the case Marbury v. Madison, (1803).
There were three lesser-known plaintiffs who joined Marbury's suit: Dennis Ramsay, Robert Townsend Hooe, and William Harper, who, like Marbury, were prominent citizens of Georgetown, MD, and Alexandria, VA, whose appointments were denied when Thomas Jefferson assumed the Presidency.
