Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"In this State, the federalists selected as their candidate for Governor, a man who was imprisoned for toryism during the revolution: in Massachusetts, they select for the same office, a man who fought in the revolution - The first instance proves that as a party they despise the glorious peoples of American Indepdence, while the latter fully demonstrates, that they can readily belie their own principles for the sake of continuing themselves." The New-Hampshire Patriot (Concord, NH). April 8, 1817.
[3]"No return." Original Election Returns.
[4]Jeremiah Mason received 1 vote as J. Mason.
[5]James Scheafe received 31 votes as Jacob Sheafe.
[6]"Not returned." Original Election Returns.
[7]Jeremiah Mason received 8 votes as Jerry Mason.
