Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]Elected.
[3]Although James Jones and Benjamin Taliaferro were elected to Congress in 1798 as Federalists, their voting record there was more Republican and it appears therefore that both parties supported them for another term. Francis Willis, a maverick in Georgia politics, may have gathered dissident votes from both parties.
[4]The Times (Charleston, SC) lists James Jones with 8617 votes.
[5]The United States Gazette and True American list Francis Willis with 55 votes.
[6]The Louisville Gazette lists Benjamin Taliaferro with 429 votes.
