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