Notes:

[1]According to the census figures for 1810, New York was entitled to gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. However, the State Legislature did not re-apportion the Congressional districts before the elections scheduled for the spring. Therefore, elections for U.S. House of Representatives were held using the previous district boundaries. The results of these elections were declared null and void. A newly elected State Legislature redrew the districts and set the dates of December 15-17 for new Congressional elections.
[2]Not all counties held elections for U.S. House of Representatives during the spring cycle, since it was known that districts were slated to be redrawn.
[3]The Columbian (New York, NY) and Plebeian (Kingston, NY) use the spelling Frazer for William Fraser and Hosbrouck for Abraham Hasbrouck.
[4]The Catskill Recorder (Catskill, NY) uses the spelling Hasbroeck for Abraham Hasbrouck.
[5]The Catskill Recorder (Catskill, NY) reports 95 votes for Abraham Hasbrouck in Coxsackie.
[6]The Columbian (New York, NY), May 23, and Plebeian (Kingston, NY), May 12 and December 29, report 313 votes for Abraham Hasbrouck in Sullivan County; however, the sum of their totals per town is 423.
