Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"In November, 1814, Mr. White was elected representative in Congress by an almost unanimous vote of the people of his district. He was duly commissioned, and in the act of preparing to attend an expected extra session of the new Congress in the following spring, when the appointment of Judge of Probate for the County of Essex was offered him. The two offices being incompatible, he concluded, after some hesitation, to resign the former, and accept the latter." Memoir of Hon. Daniel Appleton White.
