Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]James Wallace is elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Amos Ellmaker.
[3]The Original Election Returns report 3430 total votes for Philip Gloninger, Jr. This is because in Lancaster county, the returns list two separate Federalist candidates: 2520 votes for Philip Gloninger, Jr. and 601 votes for Philip Gloninger (without the "Junior"). The district total in the original return suggests that the 601 votes cast for Philip Gloninger in Lancaster county were not included in the official count but have been included here.
[4]The Oracle of Dauphin (Harrisburg, PA) from October 14, 1815 and The Chronicle or Harrisburgh Visitor (Harrisburg, PA) from October 16, 1815 report transposed totals for Lykens and Upper Paxton townships.
[5]Lykens township is also listed as "Snyder's."
[6]Upper Paxton township is also listed as "Hawk's."
[7]Der Volksfreund (Lancaster, PA) from October 17, 1815 and the Lancaster Journal (Lancaster, PA) from October 16, 1815 list individual township totals for Lancaster county. These sources separate the votes for Philip Gloniger, Jr. and Philip Gloninger though Mr. Gloninger's totals have been combined here.
[8]Der Volksfreund (Lancaster, PA) from October 17, 1815 refers to Drumore Township as "Unicorn."
[9]Der Volksfreund (Lancaster, PA) from October 17, 1815 refers to Salisbury Township as "Hendersons."
