Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]Elected.
[3]John Ash is also listed as James Ash.
[4]Vote totals listed in multiple sources vary as they were gathered over time. Because the Original Returns, which provided the totals, did not break down the votes between the City and County, the City and County totals may not reflect the Official Total.
[5]The Original Returns list two different John Murphys who received two votes each.
[6]Initial ward returns published in the Aurora. General Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) on October 13 were updated with official returns published on October 18 and 19. The official returns did not update the ward totals, which, when added, list John Barker with 1353 votes, John Ash with 724 votes, Isaac Worrell with 324 votes, and John Baker with 431 votes.
[7]The Gazette of the United States on October 12 and 13 initially reported John Barker with 1026 votes, William T. Donaldson with 939 votes, and James Ash with 689 votes.
[8]Aurora. General Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) from October 13 originally listed Martin Thomas with one vote in Blockley, but later published returns list Thomas without any votes.
[9]The votes listed for Richard Folwell and Adam Clampser are counted in Blockley, but Bockley and Kingsessing returns were listed together under Blockley, so the votes may have been in Kingsessing.
[10]William T. Donaldson recevied 173 totals votes in the district composed of Bristol, Germantown, and Roxborough. The individual township totals add up to 183, and it is not clear which of the three townships is mistakenly reported.
[11]The township of Northern Liberties was partially incorporated into a district on March 28, 1803.
[12]Township totals are not reported but are included in the Southwark District totals.
[13]Township totals are not reported but are included in the Southwark District totals.
