How many GA counties are named after our first presidents and fore fathers? I got to thinking about this today while thinking of hunting in different counties. Some of the ones I can think of are Gwinnett, Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Lincoln, and Taliefero. What are some more?

All of them expcept Hart County who was named after a woman, and she is the only woman. Liberty County is not named after person, it was named because of it's strong stance for Liberty.
