• notes: Joseph Holmes Sherrard (1802-1889) acquired Heiskell's office and paper in October 1826 with intention of altering outlook from National Republican (Adams/Clay) to Jacksonian; he retained services of the shop's foreman J.B. Patterson (1805-90) and employed extant subscriber list, so making this a successor to the Gazette, though not a true continuation, given its change in title and perspective, leading some authorities to record the paper as two distinct entities. Sherrard remained sole proprietor until about November 1829 when he brought in Edgar W. Robinson as his editorial partner.
