Notes
- ↑ At this time, in the 2nd and the 3rd District 2 congressmen were elected on a general ticket.
- ↑ Tompkins had been elected in April, and resigned in July 1804. This time the special election was held before the congressional term began, thus Mumford held office during the entire legal term.
- ↑ Mitchill had been re-elected in April, and resigned in November 1804. A special election was held in December 1804 or January 1805 to fill both vacancies, the remainder of Mitchill's term in the 8th Congress and the full term in the 9th Congress. Clinton took the seat in the 8th Congress, and held office during the entire legal term of the 9th Congress.
- ↑ Bowers was declared elected, and took the seat during the first session of the 13th Congress
- ↑ Williams, Jr., contested the election of Bowers, and was declared entitled to the seat at the beginning of the second session of the 13th Congress
