[4]Several sources refer to the Federalist candidates as Friends of Peace candidates.
[5]The Freeman's Journal lists Jacob Clemens as Jacob Clements, Joshua Comley as Joshua Comly, and Timothy Paxson as Timothy Paxon.
[6]The True American and Commercial Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) from October 17 lists Thomas P. Cope with 5028 votes, Timothy Paxson with 5022 votes, and Joshua Comley with 5040 votes.
[7]The Democratic Press (Philadelphia, PA) from October 17 lists Timothy Paxson with 5026 total votes and Joshua Comley with 5028 total votes, but these appear to be typesetting mistakes because the county and city totals together add up to the correct district total.
[8]This district is also referred to as Bustleton.
