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