I do love history. I see counties named for people back then all over the country. When I can I try to track them down. It's so interesting. To bad they don't teach this in school anymore.

For instance there is a Henry County, Ohio. The high school is Patrick Henry.

There was a Henry County, VA, named for Patrick Henry. When they split the county, they named the western part Patrick County. So on the map "Patrick" and "Henry" are side by side. The county seat of Patrick County is Stuart, named after Jeb Stuart, a native of the county.

Just to the east, Pittsylvania County was named for William Pitt the Elder, who became the Earl of Chatham. The county seat of Pittsylvania County is Chatham, VA.

Yes, I agree. I moved all around the Nation as a child and we always learned principals and values of freedom via studying the local and State people marked from history. Don’t tell the atheists about places named after Christians in history.
