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