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