Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]There is no mention or any votes reported for this election in the Original Returns for Congress at the Massachusetts Archives.
[3]"Last Monday, we had understood, was to be the day for the election of a Member of Congress, instead of Hon. Mr. White, appointed Judge of Probate, and the Hon. Jeremiah Nelson was the federal (we presume there was no other in that sterling district) candidate. If the election really took place, we believe it was the most silent and quiet one that has been known .... for we have heard nothing of its result, and the election is not even mentioned in the Newburyport paper, which came out the day after."
