[7]"In the return transmitted to the Governor, it would appear, that Mr. Scott had only 1628 votes. This was owing to an error in the New Holland return, wherein Abraham Scott was inserted instead of Alexander Scott. The total of 1794 is consequently correct." Lancaster Journal (Lancaster, PA). October 14, 1797.
