[7]"Whole number of votes, 53464. Make a choice, 4456." Governor's Council Records.
[8]"In Essex District there is no vacancy. It requires 4456 votes to make an election. Dr. Nathan Noyes has 4118 votes - Dr. Nathanial Noyes has 516 votes - the return from Gloucester being erroneous. But as there is no other Dr. Noyes in the County, but Dr. Nathan Noyes, and as Nathan is but an abbreviation of Nathaniel, there can be no doubt but that the Senate, who are judges of The returns and election of their members, will count the votes of Gloucester for Dr. Nathan Noyes, and admit him to a seat at the Senate Board."
