Footnotes ...

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