Footnotes ...

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