Notes:

[1]The Albany Register (Albany, NY) uses the name James Garretson for John Garretson.
[2]The New-York Herald (New York, NY), May 16, uses the spelling Garetson for John Garretson.

[5]The Columbian (New York, NY), May 17, in its results for Kings County, lists John Bingham and Robert Moore as Quid candidates.
[6]The Columbian (New York, NY), May 6, in its results for New York County, lists John Bingham and Robert Moore as Madisonian candidates.
[7]The Mercantile Advertiser (New York, NY), New-York Evening Post (New York, NY), and New-York Herald (New York, NY), in their results for New York County, list John Bingham and Robert Moore as Madisonian candidates and William Furman and John Garretson as Clintonian candidates.
[8]The New-York Spectator (New York, NY), May 6, in its results for Queens County, lists William Furman and James Garretson as Republican candidates and John Bingham and Robert Moore as Madisonian candidates.

[11]"There was a split in the Republican party, and Major Moore, of Newtown, was nominated by the "Quids" or Martling Junto, who held a meeting at the Court House." Onderdonk, Henry, Jr. Queens County in Olden Times. Jamaica, NY: Charles Welling, 1865. 98.
[12]"The fervor of electioneering is now past, and some will reflect on the stratagems by which they have been deceived. -- Some of the delegates, too will reflect seriously on the various unfounded assertions whch were so eloquently uttered at their county meeting. -- They will see that the feelings of the republicans of the district have been misrepresented to them, and that the city alone is arrayed against a regular nomination. Professing an intimate knowledge of the sentiments of the people of Suffolk, the editor would not believe they could be enlisted in the ranks of quiddism -- the result is therefore as far as ascertained, highly gratifying; several towns remain to be heard from which will be almost unanimous for the regular candidates. -- Our gratification at this circumstance is, however, dampened by the reflection that the defection in New-York is probaby just sufficient to throw the balance into the federal scale." Long-Island Star (Brooklyn, NY). May 6, 1812.
