Footnotes ...

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