Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]Elected.
[3]George Denison is also listed as George Dennison.
[4]The district total for Putnam Catlin, of 969 votes, is taken from a letter published in The Gleaner (Wilkes-Barre, PA) from October 20, 1815 and signed by "David B. Wheeler, Return judge for Luzerne County and Asa Lathrop, Return judge for Susquehanna county." The sum of the township returns listed in a later edition of The Gleaner and in other sources total 970 votes, with the additional vote coming from Susquehanna county. This difference is either a mistake in reporting the returns or one vote may have been rejected by the official return judges but included in the newspaper sources.
[5]The Susquehanna Democrat (Wilkes-Barre, PA) from October 27, 1815 lists 21 votes for Putnam Catlin in Windham Township.
[6]The Gleaner (Wilkes-Barre, PA) from November 3, 1815 lists 41 votes for Redmond Conyngham in Great Bend Township.
[7]The Gleaner (Wilkes-Barre, PA) from November 3, 1815 lists 36 votes for Redmond Conyngham in Springville Township.
