[1]Elected.
[2]"From the Washington Monitor. 'We have the satisfaction to state that there is every reason to believe that the Hon. J. G. Jackson, Esq. will be re-elected by a handsome majority. His opponet is a Mr. Lindsley and we have received from his district the following authentic information: .... Brooke and Randolph counties will increase the above majority for Mr. Jackson.'" Farmer's Repository (Charlestown, WV). April 28, 1809.
[3]"Extract of a letter from a gentleman in West Liberty, to the editors of The Reporter, dated April 28, 1809. 'I presume (if you have not already heard,) it will be pleasing to hear of the result of our congressional election. Five counties have given a majority of 430 votes, for J. G. Jackson, Esq. The county of Randolph, is yet to be heard from, it is supposed, that it will give a small majority for Mr. Lindsey, the opposition candidate, but there is no doubt of Mr. Jackson being elected by a majority of about 400 votes. Randolph county, only lists about 150 votes in the whole.'" The Reporter (Washington, PA). May 1, 1809.
