1 The Political Affiliation of Charles Bent is unknown (I cannot find it anywhere)
2 Stephen W. Kearny declared New Mexico a territory in 1846 and installed Charles Bent as Governor. Congress revoked Kearny's declaration in 1847, thus New Mexico had no Governor from 1847 to 1851
3 James Calhoun resigned in 1852 to return to his native state of Georgia
4 The territory broke into two, and then three during Connelly's tenure due to the civil war and administrative problems (see: Arizona Territory and Arizona Territory (CSA))
5 Samuel Axtell was suspended by the Secretary of the Interior for misconduct in 1878
6 George Curry resigned in 1910 to be a framer in the New Mexico Constitutional Convention
