Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]Albert Gallatin would resign prior to the opening of the 7th Congress to become Secretary of the Treasury.
[3]Beaver and Butler counties were created on March 12, 1800 from parts of Allegheny and Washington Counties but continued to vote with Allegheny County. In some sources, Crawford County, also organized in 1800, is included in the Allegheny returns for Congress, State Senator and Assembly that year.
[4]The Tree of Liberty, October 25, and Herald of Liberty (Washington, PA), October 27, report 1937 votes for Albert Gallatin in Allegheny County (their listings for "Allegheny County" correspond to the sum of results from Allegheny, Beaver, Butler and Crawford Counties).
[5]"Gallatin's publication on the National Debt, etc. containing an insult to the committee of Congress, and expressions hostile to our navy, lost him above one hundred votes even among the Jacobins; as may be seen by comparing his numbers of 949, with those of the Jacobin Senator, Hamilton, who had 1054 votes in his favour in Allegany [sic] county only." The Daily Advertiser (New York, NY). October 29, 1800.
[6]The Tree of Liberty, October 25, and Aurora. General Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA), October 27, 1800, report 160 votes for Albert Gallatin and 121 votes for Presley Neville.
