Notes

  2. As Speaker of the Delaware Senate, Sykes became acting Governor on the resignation of Governor Richard Bassett on 3 March 1801.
  3. Some sources suggest the election was held on 7 November, but this was the date Tattnall was inaugurated.[14]
  4. As President of the Georgia State Senate, Emanuel became acting Governor on the resignation of Governor James Jackson on 3 March 1801.
  5. Some contemporary sources give Murray's total as 27. 26 is the figure given in the Maryland Senate Journal.
  6. Some 19th Century sources give Gerry's total as 20,169, and scattering votes as 195.[21][22][23]
  7. Kallenbach and Kallenbach give the number of scattering votes as 380.
  8. Glashan records this election as taking place on 27-29 April.
  9. Williams acknowledged his election in a letter of 26 November.[45]
  10. Some sources describe Williams as a Democratic-Republican, although Broussard refers to him as "a quiet but unmistakeable Federalist" and "undeniably a Federalist", and Gilpatrick describes him as a "mild Federalist."[49] [50][51][52]
  11. Glashan records this election as taking place on 15 April.
  12. Fenner was supported by the Federalist Party.
