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