From 1793-1795, PA's seats were elected at-large. No Luzerne County resident was elected.

And in 1788, PA's seats were elected at-large. No Luzerne County resident was elected.

Excellent resource for Pennsylvanians, at least pre-1916.

Some common names, Wright, Scranton. Both families were big in politics in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. Charles Dietrich started up the theater where I work which was neat to find out. McDade was arrested for exposing himself recently. We all know the story on Sherwood. Six representatives have lived in my hometown.
