Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"The election in Hertford county, it appears, was closely contested: the succesful candidate for the Senate received 151 votes; the other, 127. Now how many counties are there in the west, that give from twelve to fifteen hundred senate votes? Yet Hertford has equal weight in the General Assembly with the largest county in the state! This is equality and Republicanism, for ye!!" Western Carolinian (Salisbury, NC). September 14, 1824.
