[7]In some counties in Pennsylvania where the Republicans were dominant they became prone to state and regional infighting. The Pennsylvania Republican (Harrisburg, PA)s went through a series of schisms and one of the players in this split was Michael Leib. Thus the description of "a kind of a Leib ticket to divide the Republicans" exists in several 1813 elections.

[8]"In the County of Philadelphia also the triumph of Democracy is complete.-The election has terminated exactly "as we predicted," in spite of all the efforts of Faction and Federalism. The Democratic candidates regularly agreed upon in the City and County of Philadelphia and in the district, have been elected. Neither the Federalists nor Leibites have carried a single Candidate. We trust they never will." The Democratic Press (Philadelphia, PA). October 13, 1813.

[9]Charles Souder is reported to have had 2742 total votes, but in all sources the individual township totals add up to 2743 total votes.

[10]The Democratic Press (Philadelphia, PA) from October 16 lists Joseph Starne with 170 votes in the district of Byberry, Lower Dublin, and Moreland.
