Checked over your list. Party affiliations are my expertise.
All names were Democrats, with only Alabama's Armistead I. Selden, Jr. later switching to the GOP after leaving office and running unsuccessfully for the Senate.

Fulbright = Bomb Throwing Liberal Democrat

Fulbright=traitor,and most likely the source of leaks to the North Vietnamese about operations to rescue American POW's in Viet Nam. As the Dim chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee,he was above official suspiscion.

[sneakypete]

He disappeared over Alaska in a presumed airplane accident and was never seen again

And his wife,Lindey (Lindsay?) Boggs took over his congressional seat when he died. Cokie and Al grew playing in the Senate chamber.

First announce which one's you'll do, so we don't duplicate effort.

Well, I already blew the assignment. But I did find a good link to research bios of ex reps. Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.

That said, I just did the North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee names...

South Carolina and Tennessee coming up in my next comment...

OOPS! That's what I get for not reading through the thread before running to do research. I see that SC Swamp Fox has already found out the info on all the SC names... all are/were (D).

I found a wealth of information here: Politicalgraveyard.com

They bill themselves as: The Internet's Most Comprehensive Source of U.S. Political Biography,
or,
The Web Site That Tells Where the Dead Politicians are Buried

I guess, as opposed to where the live ones are buried.
