Footnotes ...

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