• notes: Lewis Eichelberger (1803-60) acquired the Virginian effective January 1, 1838; with the subsequent departure of printer J.W. Hollis, he retained the services of Edward M. Heist (1818-1900) in that role; in mid-July 1840, Eichelberger transferred control of the paper, though likely not outright ownership, to James H. Carson (1808-84) in apparent attempt to reinvigorate editorial content in that election year.
