There was not one "first." A handful were all elected in the elections of 1868, therefore taking their seats about the same time. Among them were Parker Robbins, Wilson Cary , A. W. Stevens , B. W. Morris , John S. Leary, Isham Sweat , Henry C. Cherry , John H. Williamson , A. A. Crawford , Cuffie Mayo , H. T. J. Hayes , Ivey Hutchings , John S. W. Eagles, George W. Price , Thomas A. Sykes , Willis Morgan , Stewart Ellison , William Cawthorn , Richard Falkner , John A. Hyman.

This list is derived from the North Carolina Manual of 1913 and may be incomplete.
