Note 30 — ARLINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA
Reading edition
Although the "Remonstrance" cited above states that the vote was held on August 17, 1846, the presidential proclamation putting the transfer into effect declares the poll to have been taken viva voce at the Court House on September 1 and 2. The August date is given in the proclamation as that on which five commissioners were appointed by the President and directed to take the poll.
