Footnotes ...

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