Notes:
[1]"Despite running on the Federalist ticket, "Mr. Hilands was the "patent independent republican" candidate--and the number of votes he received is about their strength in the county--and from which it is evident, had the republicans been united, they would have carried their whole ticket." The Statesman (Pittsburgh, PA). October 31, 1818.
[2]The Statesman lists 1442 votes for Robert Magee though the township totals add up to 1542.
[3]The Pittsburgh Mercury (Pittsburgh, PA) lists these returns as being from "Birmingham."
