Footnotes ...

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