Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]"The usual vote at a contested election, either in Chesterfield or Westmoreland, would have secured Mr. Henderon's election. The unexpected result in these towns is attributable only to a rule of the bar, in this Country, and we believe, throughout the State, regulating the fee for actions commenced, but settled before Court. This is 33 1-3 per cent higher than the established table allows, in taxing bills of cost in Court. Mr. H is a member of the bar. As a cirtizen, no man stands higher in the estimation of his townsmen. The occasion seems to call for this exhibition." New-hampshire Sentinel (Keene, NH). May 26, 1821.
[3]"Received at Sec's Office May 28th." Original Election Returns.
[4]Jotham Lord, Jr. received 7 votes as Jotham Lord.
[5]"Rejected - no official signature." Original Election Returns.
