[3]James D. Wescott, a Republican, was run on the Federal ticket. In the towns of Downe and Fairfield, he received the votes of both parties. Roughly 225 Republican votes for him were recorded in these two towns.

[4]Dollass Lou, James Clark, Thomas Brown, and John Wood are listed on the Original Election Returns tally sheet, but did not receive any votes.

[5]The Republican Watch-Tower (New York, NY) mistakenly identifies Benjamin Champneys as a Republican.

[6]"As far as our information extends, the following counties have returned full federal representations to the Legislature, viz. Bergen, Middlesex, Somerset, Burlington, Gloucester and Cape-May. The representation from Sussex and Cumberland will be divided." Trenton Federalist (Trenton, NJ). October 27, 1806.

[7]"Reports state that the republican Ticket has succeeded in Hunterdon; and the federal in Gloucester, with the addition of two members in Cumberland. If these reports are correct, the strength of both parties will be nearly balanced in joint-meeting." The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ). October 21, 1806.
