A few months into his three-year term, Democratic-Republican Governor Joseph Haslet died in office, elevating State Senate Speaker Charles Thomas to the governorship and triggering a special election in 1823. Justice of the Peace David Hazzard ran as the Democratic-Republican nominee to succeed Thomas and faced State Senator Samuel Paynter, the Federalist nominee. Paynter narrowly defeated Hazzard, regaining the office for the Federalists.Conrad Henry C. 1908 History of the State of Delaware: From the Earliest Settlements to the Year 1907 https://books.google.com/books?id=JhhRAQAAMAAJ 1 Lancaster, Pa.
