A Guy C. Barnum, of Washington County, Nebraska, was a member of the House of the Tenth Session of the Nebraska Territorial Legislature, which convened January 5, 1865 at Omaha. It is not certain whether this Guy C. Barnum or his son was that person. On January 4, 1866, the Eleventh Session of the Territorial Legislature met at Omaha; G. C. Barnum was also a member of the House of that session. He was also a member of the Fifth Session of the Nebraska State Legislature (which is incorrectly, called the "first regular session" on the title page of the journal). It was the first to meet in Lincoln after the removal of the capital to that place. It was also the first. session by operation of the constitutional law under the Supreme Ordinance of 1866, the preceding sessions since the passage of the constitution having been either practically territorial legislatures, or "called" sessions of the state body, hence the designation as "first regular session." That legislature met January 7, 1869.
