Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Williams Cross Roads, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Williams Cross Roads may originally have been William's Cross Roads. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Williams Cross Roads might be written as William Cross Roads.
