Finally, for hikers who enjoy maps, it isn’t clear whether Tabors Corners has one or two s’s and if only one where it goes.  Google Maps calls the road Tabors Corners Rd in Steuben Co and Tabors Corner Rd in Livingston Co.  Bing maps calls it Tabor Corners Rd. everywhere.  The Springwater town assessor’s rolls contains all three spellings.
