Footnotes ...

<1>Every year, the US Census Bureau creates a population estimate for the preceeding year. Keep in mind that this value is an estimate and not an actual count. The most recent Census estimate is for the year 2019.
<2>Every 10 years (eg- 1990, 2000, 2010), the US Census Bureau conducts a Constitutionally-mandated count (or enumeration) of people living within the United States. This count is called a Decennial Census. The last Decennial Census was the 2010 Census, with the next one planned for 2020.
<3>It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Carnes Creek may originally have been Carne's Creek. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Carnes Creek might be written as Carne Creek. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Carnes Creek.
