[26]William Archer, Benjamin Cook, William Brockenbrough, Daniel Morgan and John Edie are listed in the "United States' Telegraph -- Extra (1828)" as elected."
[27]Robert B. Starke voted in the Electoral College.
[28]"The election for Electors of President and Vice President of the United State, was held at the Court House of this borough yesterday, conformably to law. The polls opened at 11 o'clock, A.M. and closed at 5 P.M. when the number of votes taken was found to be 158. -- No opposition was offered to the Republican Ticket, a pleasing evidence of that harmony which has so happily subsisted between the two parties for some time past -- Nor is it a feeble tribute to the merits of the Republican Candidates, who were in nomination." The American Beacon and Commercial Diary (Norfolk, VA). November 5, 1816.
[29]There were 3 votes cast for Archibald Rutherford of "Rockbridge", an apparent error, as Mr. Rutherford was from Rockingham county. One vote was cast for William C. Poindexter, an error in the middle initial.
[30]At the time, Williamsburg was split between James City County and York County and was not yet an independent city. The votes in Williamsburg appear to have been reported independently of either county.
