Footnotes ...

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