[edit] North Carolina

I see that you have 2 pro-Administration and 3 anti-Administration from NC. But Congress calls John Sevier Pro-Administration, and so were John Steele (North Carolina politician) and Hugh Williamson. John Baptista Ashe and Timothy Bloodworth were both anti. Awbeal 14:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I was relying on the party labels used in the 1st United States Congress article. The book I was mostly following labels Ashe and Bloodworth as anti-federalists and Williamson, Steele and Sevier as federalists. I see the difficulty is with Williamson, who is described as a federalist by Dubin and the Congressional Biographical Directory but as anti-Administration in the other article. There is some discussion of parties in the Talk page for the 1st US Congress article. I am not sure where the party information used in that article comes from, but presumably the different articles should agree. --Gary J 20:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
