Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]During the War of 1812, there was some British military movement in and around the Chesapeake Bay area and in an attempt to prepare for any military actions that the British might take, there were a host of military camps set up in some of the counties close to the Chesapeake Bay and Philadelphia City. In the October 1814 Pennsylvania state elections, the members of the military camps native to Pennsylvania were allowed to vote. When the newspapers reported these returns they listed them under "camp" or "army" votes.
[3]The Oracle of Dauphin (Harrisburg, PA), The Chronicle or Harrisburgh Visitor (Harrisburg, PA) and the Pennsylvania Republican (Harrisburg, PA) list Daniel Stine with 776 votes and Frederick Wolfersberger with 724 votes. These totals reflect the lack of a reported military vote in the newspapers.
