[7]The Columbian. (For the Country) (New York, NY) New York of May 5, and several other newspapers in May 1810 which list results for individual towns, list slightly different numbers for Richmond County (339 and 331), and some only list results for Samuel L. Mitchell and John Coles, mentioning that there was a "Republican majority" of 8. The later newspapers, from June 1810, list the totals in Richmond County for the candidates as 338 and 326.
[8]"Richmond County[.] Safe After all. The following is the official return from that county, by which it will be seen, contrary to the first report, that a republican member of the assembly is elected. Last year a federalist represented the county. The exultation of the federalists on their supposed success was ludicrously great. A procession was formed the morning after the election, of which major Snowdon's horse, caparisoned, led the van : Bonfires of tar-barrels graced the triump : a supper and copious libations, at the expence [sic] of Mr. Connor, the fortunate candidate, were devoured, and the air rent with acclamations. Major Snowden, too, was to give a supper on Thursday [to-morrow] evening. But behold, yesterday, at ten o'clock, the official canvas gave a republican majority for governor, congress and assembly." The Columbian (New York, NY). May 2, 1810.

[10]Samuel L. Mitchell received 1 vote as Samuel Mitchell.
[11]The Columbian (New York, NY) of May 9 lists John B. Coles with 35 votes.
