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 Waits Station, 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 Waits Station may originally have been Wait's Station. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Waits Station might be written as Wait Station. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Waits Station.
