Footnotes ...

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