Footnotes ...

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