Notes:

[1]Elected.

[2]"The number of votes given in Hunterdon on the democratic side is about the same as last year. Many Federalists did not come out to the election under an impression that the democrats would have the majority. In Hunterdon the Federalists have about 300 votes more than they gave in." The Trenton Federalist (Trenton, NJ). October 30, 1809.
