[5]Montgomery Reading, John Johnson, Daniel Vliet, Robert Davison, and Garret Vliet are on the Original Election Returns tally sheet, but received no votes.
[6]Joseph Gaston, Thomas Stewart and William Runkle all declined before the election. As the Federalist Party made no attempt to re-organize another Assembly ticket, many Federalists voted for the Republican slate.
[7]"As our paper was going to press, we received information from an obliging correspondent at Newton, that the republican candidate for Council had a majority of 610 votes out of seven townships, and the majority for Assembly was much greater. So that we may safely infer that Sussex representation will be republican." The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ). October 19, 1802.
