Dear friends, As promised, here is a copy of the list of town name changes as updated by your submissions. Take note it's scope broadened on a small scale beyond the original five counties. I took all name changes and added them to the list. They are separated by counties, but have no headings as some started in one county and ended up in another. Please read it over for errors. Additions are still welcome. I believe I've managed to send every submitter a letter of thank you. If I missed, I apologize, and here extend my thank you.
