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