Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]This special election to fill a seat vacated by Samuel D. Ingham (resigned) was held at the same time as the regular election. Samuel Moore ran in both the regular and special elections. Because Moore won the special election, Thomas J. Rogers was awarded the regular seat. Moore took his seat immediately, while Rogers did not take his seat until the next session of Congress convened, most likely sometime in 1819.
