Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]Votes for "Lewis" are reported to have been cast in Darby Township in the October 9th issue of The Democratic Press (Philadelphia, PA). This same township mistakenly voted for both "William Lewis, Jr." and "William Lewis" in their county commissioner election for 1816, and these votes may represent another confusion in voting or printing the votes for commissioner. All other sources list only Fairlamb and Barton as candidates.
