Correct. The footnotes were removed so that King James and his church leaders would have absolute interpretation of scripture. That's one of the main reasons the Puritans (and others) fled with their Geneva bibles in hand.

Unfortunately there are many, even today, who assume hundreds of years later that the KJV is the only correct translation. It is clearly misguided belief.
Oh, there's a couple of active KJV Only threads on here lol.

Oh, and I have the Geneva Bible and it's notes in my Logos library.
