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