Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Bates Corner, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
| <2> | If you're interested in how the shape of Michigan's counties, including Macomb, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. |
| <3> | It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Bates Corner may originally have been Bate's Corner. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Bates Corner might be written as Bate Corner. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Bates Corner. |
