Charles Copland retained his seat in the House of Delegates, which he had first won in 1799. It was the sole assembly seat representing the city of Richmond. The two republicans elected to the assembly seats for Henrico County were William Price, an incumbent, and Gervas Storrs. It was the first election to the assembly for Storrs, who was a member of the general standing committee headed by Philip Norborne Nicholas. John Mayo, a member of a family prominent in the early history of Richmond and the proprietor of a toll bridge that spanned the James River, had represented Henrico County in several sessions of the assembly, most recently in 1796. Later in 1800 Mayo tried unsuccessfully to win the seat in Congress vacated by John Marshall (Leonard, General Assembly description begins Cynthia Miller Leonard, comp., The General Assembly of Virginia, July 30, 1619–January 11, 1978: A Bicentennial Register of Members, Richmond, 1978 description ends , 157, 200, 204, 216–17, 220–1; CVSP description begins William P.
