[8]The earliest returns for this election provided tentative totals for the townships and populated places of each district. As the totals were edited in subsequent sources, the township and populated place totals were not republished. The votes listed here for the townships and populated place are from the earliest sources and do not perfectly match with the updated, more accurate, district totals.

[9]Original Election Returns attribute these votes to a district composed of Byberry, Lower Dublin, Moreland, and Oxford townships. Poulson's American Daily Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) from October 16 uses the same district description, but the Aurora. General Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) attributes these same votes to the populated place of Bustleton.
