Footnotes ...

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