[1]Elected.
[2]The National Intelligencer, October 23, reports 2173 votes for Martin Chittenden.
[3]Several sources, including the Rutland Herald (Rutland, VT), October 18; the Vermont Centinel (Burlington, VT), October 23; the Vermont Gazette, an Epitome of the World (Bennington, VT), October 21; the Middlebury Mercury (Middlebury, VT), October 15; and The Reporter, October 25, report 1793 total votes for Ezra Butler (and likely did not include the vote Ezra Butler received in the Franklin County town of Highgate as Ezra Butler, Jr.).
[4]The Middlebury Mercury (Middlebury, VT), September 3, reports 84 votes for Martin Chittenden in Middlebury.
[5]The votes from Shelburne were rejected.
[6]One vote for Ezra Butler, Jr. in Highgate has been counted for Ezra Butler.
[7]There were no votes recorded in Huntsburgh.
[8]There were no votes recorded in Grand Isle.
[9]There were no votes recorded in North Hero.
[10]The Vineyard Town Records list Ezra Butler with 23 votes, which may be either a transcription discrepency or in conflict with Original Town Election Certificates which report Ezra Butler with 30 votes in Vineyard. With the Vineyard total at 30 votes for Ezra Butler, it is more in keeping with the state totals reported in other sources.
