Footnotes ...

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