Footnotes ...
| <1> | It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Shooters Island may originally have been Shooter's Island. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Shooters Island might be written as Shooter Island. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Shooters Island. |
| <2> | The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required. |
