Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"The federalist had attempted to plan a deep game - a number of them had solicited Mr. Jacocks, a republican, to stand in opposition to Mr. Alston - after balancing the republican party as well as they could, and inducing a belief that no federalist would be polled, they set up their ex-ambassador General Davie . . . They flattered themselves that they had everything secure, as Jacocks and Alston were completely marshalled against each other . . . Mr. Jacocks, very much to his credit, declined." Extract of a letter from a gentleman in North Carolina, to the Editor of the Republican Star or Eastern Shore General Advertiser (Easton, MD). September 6, 1803.
[3]Seth Beeson Hinshaw's compilation lists Davie with a majority of 200.
