John Henry Lumpkin

John Henry Lumpkin (born June 13, 1812) was a Democratic politician who represented the state of Georgia in the United States House of Representatives during the mid-nineteenth century. Serving as a member of the U.S. Congress from Georgia’s 5th District, he held office as a Representative from December 4, 1843, until March 3, 1857. Over the course of his congressional service, Lumpkin completed four terms, reflecting a sustained period of electoral support and legislative activity on behalf of his district and party.

As a Democratic Representative from Georgia, Lumpkin’s tenure in Congress spanned a politically turbulent era leading up to the late 1850s. While specific committee assignments, legislative initiatives, and office contact details are not recorded in the available metadata, his long service from 1843 to 1857 situates him among the notable historical members of Congress from Georgia. After leaving office at the conclusion of his term on March 3, 1857, he is remembered primarily for his role as a four-term Representative in the U.S. House.
