State officers from Oswego County are as follows:

Henry FITZHUGH, of Oswego city, was elected canal commissioner in November, 1851, for three years, and re-elected in 1854, serving until Dec. 31, 1857.

Andrew H. CALHOUN, of Oswego city, was appointed canal appraiser by the governor and senate, July 1, 1850, and served until April 5, 1855.

William F. ALLEN, then of New York, but previously and subsequently of Oswego, was elected State comptroller in Nov, 1867, and held office from Jan. 1, 1868, till Jun 1870, when he was elected judge of the court of appeals.

John COCHRANE, formerly a resident of Oswego, served as attorney-general in 1864 and 1865.

Court of Appeals and Supreme Court:

Previous to the constitution of 1847, there had been no Supreme Court or circuit judges from Oswego County.  Under that constitution Oswego County was united with Jefferson, Lewis, Herkimer, Oneida, and Onondaga, to form the fifth judicial district, and elected four justices of the supreme court, __one to be chosen every two years, and those first elected to draw for terms. 

In June, 1847, William F. ALLEN, of Oswego city, was elected, and drew an eight years’ term.  In 1855 he was re-elected, and served till Dec. 31, 1863.

Henry A. FOSTER, of Oneida county (ex-congressman and ex-United States senator), was elected in his place, and soon afterwards removed to Oswego, where he lived throughout his term of office, which expired Dec. 31, 1871, and where he still resides.

By the judiciary amendment to the constitution, adopted in 1869, a new court of appeals of seven members was provided for, the judges to hold fourteen years.

William F. ALLEN, of Oswego, was elected one of the first judges of the new court in May 1870, and still holds that office.
 

Members of Congress ----By an act of the legislature passed in April, 1822, Oswego County was made a part of the twentieth congressional district, which also embraced Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties, and elected two members of Congress.  Previous to this the sections east and west of the Oswego River had been joined in representation respectively with Oneida and Onondaga counties, and no member had been a resident of the present territory of Oswego County.  At the election in 1824, Egbert Ten Eyck, of Jefferson county, received one of the certificates, but on contest his seat was awarded, in Dec., 1825, to General Daniel HUGUNIN, OF Oswego, who held till March, 1827.  He was succeeded by Rudolph BUNNER, oF Oswego, in the Congress of 1827-29.

George FISHER, of Oswego, received a certificate for next term (1829-31), but his seat, on contest, was awarded in Dec., 1829, to Silas WRIGHT, Jr., of St. Lawrence, who, however, declined to accept it, and another St. Lawrence county man was elected the next spring.  There was no one from Oswego County in the Congress of 1831-33.

By law of June 29, 1832, Oneida and Oswego counties formed the seventeenth congressional district, with two members.  Those from Oswego County were as follows:

Joel TURRILL, of Oswego, 1833-35, re-elected for 1835-37
Abraham P. GRANT, of Oswego, 1837-39
David P. BREWSTER, of Oswego, 1839-41.  Re-elected for 1841-43

By a law passed in Sept. 1842, Madison and Oswego counties formed the twenty-third congressional district, with one member.  Those counties have composed one district ever since, but in 1851 its number was changed to the twenty-second, and in 1871 it was changed back to the twenty-third.
