^ 1st district incumbent Thomas Carmichael Hindman (D) was re-elected to the 37th Congress, but chose not to take his seat.
^ Anthony A. C. Rogers was elected to the 38th Congress but was not permitted to take his seat because Arkansas had not been re-admitted to the Union.
^ McRae was elected to fill the vacancy caused by James Kimbrough Jones, who had been elected to the next term, but resigned before this Congress.
^ Breckinridge was initially declared elected to the 51st United States Congress and took his seat. John M. Clayton eventually won a contest before the U.S. House, but died before the contest was complete, so the House declared the seat vacant. Breckinridge was then re-elected to finish the term.
^ Elected to fill the vacancy caused by the previous representative's death before the term began.
^ Jump up to: ^a ^b ^c ^d ^e ^f ^g Died
