[2]Elections for a four-year and a two-year term were held simultaneously in the 11th District, and many ballots did not specify the term for which votes were cast. The Adams Centinel, October 20, notes ". . . we say that of the votes given for James MacSherry and Isaac Kirk, stated in the above Return to have been given without specifying the term for which they were elected, there were 129 votes for each, designationg the term, in the manner the Federal Tickets were printed."

[3]Because of the confusion regarding the two and four year terms, some sources list different totals than those given here.

[4]130 votes for Isaac Kirk were not specified for the four-year term.
