  Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Jackson, Lincoln ...

  Does your state have an above-mentioned county?

  Alabama has every one, except Lincoln.

  Inspired by a sweet poster.

  Wisconsin has a Lincoln county, but not a Franklin county, has Washington, Jefferson, Jackson counties

  I have no idea why Franklin was not honored as a county, but it there is a city of Franklin named after him.

  I believe 31 states have a Washington.

  Perhaps I should have placed this in Members Only ...

  How about Hamilton County, I live in one now, and was born in one in the north in another state. You snowbird, are a sweet one

  Yes it could be a bit of a hindrance for people to post something like that when they are worried about anonymity.

  Thanks, Non.

  No Hamilton in Alabama.

  I memorized and made a list of all 67 counties in my state, also the county seats, and number of letters in each.

  I used to know how many counties were in each state of the Union, but old women forget, also.

  Tee hee hee.

  I've got a list here somewhere.

  Does your state have an above-mentioned county?

  Not in AZ. The county names here are mostly drawn from Native American cultures:

  -Navajo, Apache, Coconino, Yavapai, Maricopa, Cochise, Mohave, Yuma, etc.

  Maricopa is the most familiar.

  Thanks.
