Footnotes ...
| <1> | It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Dawes Point may originally have been Dawe's Point. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Dawes Point might be written as Dawe Point. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Dawes Point. |
