Footnotes ...

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