There is much confusion about the members from Seneca Co. at this session. Myndert M. Dox was returned as elected, claimed his seat, but was not admitted. However, he was paid like a member until the final rejection of his claim. See Laws of the State of New York (41st Session, 1818; pg. 295) It seems that John Sutton was returned as elected from both Seneca Co. and Tompkins Co. which gave Dox a strong argument to pursue his claim vigorously, but without success.
