Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]"In this town a very unfortunate blunder was made. - The Friends of Peace had been informed, that Malden had been Gerrymandered into the Essex South District instead of the Middlesex District, and under that conviction they gave sixty votes for the Hon. Mr. Reed." Columbian Centinel. Massachusetts Federalist (Boston, MA). December 16, 1812.
