Footnotes ...

<1>It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Porters Falls may originally have been Porter's Falls. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Porters Falls might be written as Porter Falls. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Porters Falls.
<2>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
