I haven't included a link in the text to Thomas Bayne (Sam Nixon), an article I just posted about an African American active in the same Virginia Constitutional Convention as Platt. The Encyclopedia of Virginia article I have cited for other points may rely on a recent history of Norfolk (Norfolk: the first four centuries at p. 238)), which indicates Bayne ran for the 2nd district seat, but he and Platt split the vote, and a unnamed Conservative was elected. The problem is that the dates don't match, or I trust the U.S. Congressional biography more than the University of Virginia Press citechecker on that seemingly minor point before the posted Virginia election returned. Someone near Norfolk may be able to do further research.Jweaver28 (talk) 20:05, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
