Footnotes ...

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