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