Notes:

[1]"That the number of votes returned for Senators for the County of Cheshire amount to 1465, no one person being elected . . . We also certify that the votes from Swanzey was at the time of counting the votes for Senators crowded into the files by mistake and has been since found in the paper inclosing the votes from Stoddard, but was not counted at the time . . . We also find by the votes from Winchester delivered to the Secretary since the counting of votes for a Senator, that Col John Bellows had in that Town, 27 votes for a Senator which would have made a majority of votes in his favore if seasonably handed in."
