Footnotes ...

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