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