Footnotes ...

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