Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]Elected.
[3]On October 1, 1822, Samuel Delucenna Ingham was elected as a Republican, by the 6th district of Pennsylvania, to the Seventeenth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Samuel Moore. He held this seat for the remainder of the Seventeenth Congress from October 7, 1822 through March 3, 1823. Samuel D. Ingham was then re-elected on October 8, 1822, to the Eighteenth Congress, now representing the 8th district of Pennsylvania which had been redistricted from the 6th district, prior to the start of the first meeting of the Eighteenth Congress on March 4, 1823.
[4]Some sources, including The Easton Centinel (Easton, PA), the Der Northampton Correspondent (Easton, PA) and the Spirit of Pennsylvania (Easton, PA) all of October 18 and The Expositor of October 22 report 4542 total votes for Thomas J. Rogers in the Eighth District. However, these are also the same sources which report him with the "Official" count of 1761 total votes in Bucks County (due to the 87 vote mistake made in Haycock township).
[5]"In the general returns published this day the number of votes given to General Rogers in Bucks County is stated to be 1761 - but the actual number of votes by him received is 1848. This difference was occasioned by a mistake of the Judges of Haycock district, who returned 87 votes given to General Rogers to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Dr. Moore, although he had actually received them for the next Congress." The Easton Centinel (Easton, PA). October 18, 1822.
[6]The Easton Centinel (Easton, PA), the Northampton Correspondent and the Spirit of Pennsylvania (Easton, PA) all of October 18 and The Expositor (Easton, PA) of October 22 report 1761 as the "Official" statement of votes for Thomas J. Rogers in Bucks County, but does not list individual township totals.
[7]The American Sentinel and Mercantile Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) of October 19, the Franklin Gazette (Philadelphia, PA) of October 16 and the The Union. United States Gazette and True American (Philadelphia, PA) of October 15 report 1948 total votes for Thomas J. Rogers in Bucks County (but, the Union reports 1761 total votes for him in Bucks County in the October 19 and 23 editions).
[8]The Correspondent and Farmers' Advertiser (Doylestown, PA) reports 2376 votes for Samuel D. Ingham.
[9]The Expositor (Easton, PA) of October 22 reports Thomas J. Rogers with 40 votes but lists the same total votes for him in Bucks County as do other sources.
[10]The Expositor (Easton, PA) of October 22 reports Thomas J. Rogers with 57 votes but lists the same total votes for him in Bucks County as do other sources.
[11]The Spirit of Pennsylvania (Easton, PA) of October 18 reports township totals for Northampton County, the actual sums of which, are consistent with the "Official Return" totals it reports elsewhere in the paper, except that the sum of township totals reported for Samuel Sitgreaves is 1129. However, the Spirit of Pennsylvania (Easton, PA) of October 18 also reports the incorrect sums of the township totals it lists as 2328, 2146 and 1121 for Samuel D. Ingham, Thomas J. Rogers and Samuel Sitgreaves, respectively.
[12]The Spirit of Pennsylvania (Easton, PA) reports Samuel Sitgreaves with 89 votes, which would increase the sum of the township totals for him to the 1129 votes in Northampton County that it reports.
[13]The populated place known as Butz's refers to an area located within present day Bethlehem Township.
[14]"Easton district, composed of the borough of Easton, and the townships of Forks, Williams, Plainfield, and Nazareth." The Perry Forester (Landisburg, PA). October 17, 1822.
