Footnotes ...

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