On May 16, 1815, Representative-Elect Jonathan Williams (DR) who'd been elected for Pennsylvania's 1st district, died before the start of the 14th Congress. A special election was held on October 10 of that year to fill the vacancy left by his death.
Election results
| Candidate | Party | Votes[1] | Percent |
|---|---|---|---|
| John Sergeant | Federalist | 6,364 | 60.2% |
| John Conard | Democratic-Republican | 4,204 | 39.8% |
Williams had been the sole Democratic-Republican elected to Pennsylvania's 1st district (a plural district with 4 seats), and so with Sergeant's win, all four of the 1st district's seats were held by Federalists. Sergeant took his seat in the Congress on December 6, 1815[2]
