Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]Joseph Hiester was supported by the Federalists as well as Old School Republicans.
[3]The Berks and Schuylkill Journal (Reading, PA) from June 7, 1817 reports 344 total votes for Charles Shoemaker, Jr. and 258 total votes for Daniel Udree. The discrepancy appears to be the result of transposing the totals for Mrs. Shoemaker and Udree in Schuylkill County.
[4]Poulson's American Daily Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) from October 17, 1816 reports 288 total votes for Daniel Udree.
[5]The Berks and Schuylkill Journal (Reading, PA) reports 235 votes for Daniel Udree.
[6]Der Readinger Adler (Reading, PA) from October 15, 1816 lists Daniel Udree with 235 votes in Berks County, though this appears to be a printing error as the township totals included add up to 236 total votes.
[7]The Berks and Schuylkill Journal (Reading, PA) reports 53 votes for Charles Shoemaker, Jr. and 23 votes for Daniel Udree.
