Just found something out while reading. You know, going from a word or phrase and using google and all. Kinda like a 6 degrees of separation thing.
The phrase at Jackpedia:
One of the Confederate Generals defending Jackson was former United States Vice President John C. Breckenridge.
Ok, Breckinridge, VP to James Buchanan.
James Buchanan:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_BuchananApparently never married, but "may" have had a relationship with a long-time live-in "friend" of the male type. From a letter by him:
"I am now 'solitary and alone,' having no companion in the house with me. I have gone a wooing to several gentlemen, but have not succeeded with any one of them. I feel that it is not good for man to be alone; and should not be astonished to find myself married to some old maid who can nurse me when I am sick, provide good dinners for me when I am well, and not expect from me any very ardent or romantic affection."
The letter was written after his male "friend" left for France. The male friend:
William Rufus King.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_R._KingKing County, Washington (Seattle) was named after him.
King's tomb is located at the Live Oak Cemetery in Selma, Alabama and is accompanied by a historical marker.
In honor of his inauguration as Vice President, the newly formed Washington Territory named King County for him, as well as Pierce County after President Pierce, in hopes of gaining speedy admission to the Union by currying favor with the new administration. Though Washington did not become a state until 1889, Pierce and King counties still exist.
However, when you go to King County's page on Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_County,_WashingtonIt looks completely different.
On February 24, 1986, the King County Council passed Council Motion 6461, "setting forth the historical basis for the 'renaming' of King County in honor of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.". Because only the state can charter counties, this change was not made official until April 19, 2005, when Washington Governor Christine Gregoire signed Senate Bill 5332 into law. Due primarily to the advocacy of councilmember Larry Gossett, the County Council voted on February 27, 2006 to change the county's logo from a royal crown to an image of King's face.[5] On March 12, 2007, the new logo was unveiled.
