Notes:

[1]Elected.

[2]"In Essex, Morris, and Sussex, Federal Tickets were run but partially. There was no expectation of their succeeding and in consequence of this were not supported by the whole strength of the party. The Federalists have between 17 and 18 hundred votes in Sussex - of these they brought out only about 800." The Trenton Federalist (Trenton, NJ). October 30, 1809.
