[3]The Lancaster Journal (Lancaster, PA) and Bradford Settler (Towanda, PA) list A. S. MacKinney with 1718 votes. This is likely a typesetting error, as Findlay, the Congressional candidate listed above MacKinney received 1718 votes.

[4]"On the day of the election, Helfenstein spoke with confidence of major Foulke's election; but the result proves, that he made a miscalculation of not less than 600 votes. However, these trifling mistakes are nothing to others made by the same gentleman." American Volunteer (Carlisle, PA). October 14, 1824.
