Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]"THE HON. MR. CUTLER Has a most flattering support in Essex North District. As far as we have heard, his votes are nearly two to one for his competitor: ... From the other towns we have no accounts. In Reading the meeting was in the Old Parish, where all the Jacobins live, and the weather prevented many Federalists from going so far, otherwise there would have been 50 majority for Mr. Cutler. Middleton joins these two towns in an insignificant majority for Kitteridge. The other towns honourably maintain the character of Old Essex." Salem Gazette (Salem, MA). November 5, 1802.
