• notes: Editor Anderson and printer DuVal commenced publication of the first daily paper issued in Richmond in twenty years on May 1, 1813; primary purpose was to report news of wartime events more promptly without partisan bias. DuVal evidently signed a six-month agreement with Anderson to produce the paper, and so his affiliation with the daily ended in November 1813; exact date of change is unknown from lack of surviving numbers for this period.
