Footnotes ...

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