Footnotes ...
<1> | It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Porters Crossroads may originally have been Porter's Crossroads. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Porters Crossroads might be written as Porter Crossroads.
