Chapter 19 cont. There are a lot surnames in this post. A listing of all Supervisors from 1861 to 1910. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. In accordance with an act of the general assembly entitled, "An act creating a county boad of supervisors, defining their duties and the duties of certain county officers," passed March 22, 1860, the county of Scott was organized under the new law and at the election held November 6, 1860, supervisors were elected.  Each township was entitled to one supervisor without regard to the number of inhabitants.  Davenport having over 12,000 inhabitants was entitled to three members of the board. The first meeting of the board was held Monday, January 8, 1861.  C. Stewart Ells was elected president. The representation was continued at one from each township and three from Davenport until 1866, when  one more was added to the latter's representation.  In 1868 the number was increased to five. The law in 1870 was changed and instead of a board of supervisors, composed of a representative from each township, there were elected by the entire county, who had vested in them the same powers as the old board. In 1894 the county availed itself of the privilege offered by the state law to increase the number of representatives on the board to five, which number is yet retained.
