Footnotes ...

<1>	We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Bolens Mills, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Ohio's counties, including Athens, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>	It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Bolens Mills may originally have been Bolen's Mills. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Bolens Mills might be written as Bolen Mills. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Bolens Mills.
