Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"Mr. Garrison, a republican, had 31 scattering votes for Assembly, in Kings--by which it may be seen, that, had they been united, the republicans might have elected their candidate." Suffolk Gazette (Sag Harbor, NY) (Sag Harbor, New York). May 14, 1808.
[3]The Public Advertiser (New York, NY) uses the name Patchum for Ralph Patchen.
[4]"Upwards of twenty votes did not go forward to the polls, in consequence of one of the republican candidates persevering in the split in opposition to the wishes of his friends.--Mr. Patchum has acted with that integrity which is always the characteristic of a republican." The Public Advertiser (New York, NY). May 7, 1808.
