Footnotes ...

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