Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]Elected.
[3]In publishing the candidates for the Federalist ticket The Pennsylvania Farmer (Lancaster, PA) from September 2 states that "It is confidently expected, the friends of peace, agriculture and commerce, will give their undivided support to the following ticket."
[4]"By great numbers, Mr. Gloninger, who received the Federal support, was considered a Republican; and they accordingly voted for him. Some local interests and divisions contributed also to diminish the votes to Mr. Bucher. The real state of parties, in this county [Lancaster], must be ascertained from the votes given for Whitehill and Slaymaker, an acknowledged Democrat and acknowledged Federalist. Mr. Gloninger, if not a Democrat, is believed not to be a decided Federalist; nor is it believed, that he will always votes with the Federal Party." The Intelligencer, and Weekly Advertiser (Lancaster, PA). October 24, 1812.
[5]Die Harrisburger Morgenrothe (Harrisburg, PA) from October 20 refers to this township as Palmstown.
[6]Die Harrisburger Morgenrothe (Harrisburg, PA) from October 20 refers to this township as Red's.
