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 Martins Mills, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Ohio's counties, including Richland, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>	It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Martins Mills may originally have been Martin's Mills. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Martins Mills might be written as Martin Mills. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Martins Mills.
<4>	The pronunciation we've provided is our attempt to give a phonetic pronunciation for Martins Mills. While it might not be exactly right, hopefully it will be close. If we have it wrong or there's a better way to pronounce the name, please contact us through our Feedback Page.
<5>	When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 419 code has been Overlayed with the 567 area code. New phone numbers in the Martins Mills area will be assigned with one of these codes: 419 or 567. As a result, placing a call in the Martins Mills area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
