[7]The Americanische Staatsbothe from October 21, 1807 lists Federalist candidates as Constitutionalists.
[8]Freeman's Journal and Philadelphia Daily Advertiser from October 21 lists vote totals which are from 0 to 21 votes higher than are listed by other sources.
[9]Der Freymuthige Libanoner (Lebanon, PA) from October 28 Lists Jacob Gish with 2496 total votes, Robert Maxwell with 1462 and Charles Smith with 1457 total votes. These are likely misprints.
[10]The Die Harrisburger Morgenrothe (Harrisburg, PA) from October 24 and The Intelligencer, and Weekly Advertiser (Lancaster, PA) from October 20 list total votes for Jacob Gish, 2296; William Ramsey, 2263; Robert Maxwell, 2280; Jacob Kimmal, 2294; Charles Smith, 2264; Samuel Bethel, 2283; Henry Share, 1758; James Baxter, 1757; John Whiteside, 1764; George Thompson, 1763; Jacob Kauffman 1738; and, John Slaymaker with 1741 total votes for Lancaster County. Of these two sources, The Intelligencer, and Weekly Advertiser (Lancaster, PA) October 20 also lists individual township totals but does not include total votes from Unicorn. Thus, the difference in these two sources' total votes for Lancaster County from those listed in other sources (including the later edition of the Intelligencer, from October 27).
