Meine Stichproben ergaben, dass es zur überwiegenden Anzahl der Informationen zu US-amerikanischen Verwaltungsbezirken auch Hinweise zur Namensgebung gibt, die meist mit der Formel "The county was named ..." eingeleitet werden.
Dies rechtfertigt die Aufnahme im Etymologie-Portal.

Mercer County, Kentucky
"Mercer County" is a county located in the U.S. state of Kentucky. As of the 2010 census, the population was 21,331. Its county seat is Harrodsburg. The county was formed from Lincoln County, Virginia in 1785 and is named for Revolutionary War General "Hugh Mercer", who was killed at the Battle of Princeton in 1777.
It is a prohibition or dry county, though Harrodsburg and Pleasant Hill allow the sale of alcohol by the drink. In Kentucky this is referred to as being a "moist" county; wet counties sell package liquor, wine and beer, dry counties sell no alcoholic beverages (legally), while "moist" counties serve only by the drink, primarily in restaurants. Boyle County (Danville) immediately to the south along US Hwy 127, is wet, with two large liquor outlet stores, plus several smaller, privately owned ones.

"Hugh Mercer" (17 January 1726 – 12 January 1777) was a Scottish soldier and physician. He initially served with the Jacobite forces of Bonnie Prince Charlie, and with the British forces during the Seven Years' War, but later became a brigadier general in the Continental Army and a close friend to George Washington. "Mercer" died as a result of his wounds received at the Battle of Princeton and became a fallen hero and rallying symbol of the American Revolution.

Im "Allgemeines Lexikon der Bildenden Künste" von "Thieme - Becker - Vollmer" findet man folgende Einträge
Jouett, Matthew Harris, amer. Bildnismaler, geb. in "Mercer County" (Kentucky, U.S.A.) 22.04.1788, in Lexington, Ky., 10.08.1827. War zuerst Advokat, diente im Englisch-Amer. Krieg 1812-14 als Leutnant, brachte es zum Hauptmann und lies sich nach Friedensschlus in der Nahe von Lexington als Bildnismaler nieder. Studierte 1816 unter G. Stuart in Boston und erwarb sich in seinem Heimatstaat, in New Orleans, Natchez u. a. O. eine zahlreiche Kundschaft. Im ganzen soll er etwa 300 Bildnisse, darunter die zahlreicher Notabilitaten, hinterlassen haben. Der Maler J. Neagle, der ihn 1819 in Lexington besuchte, nennt ihn den tuchtigsten Portratisten .im Westen des Felsengebirgesi. Angesichts seiner kunstler. Vielseitigkeit gewinnt man nur schwer eine klare Vorstellung von seiner Kunst. Zeigt er sich in der Hauptsache von seinem Lehrer G. Stuart beeinflust, so hat er sich daneben offenbar Meisterwerke der alteren u. zeitgenoss. europ. Bildnismalerei (Van Dyck, Greuze, Reynolds) zur Richtschnur genommen. Auf der Weltausst. Chicago (1893), wo man Miniaturen und Olbilder von J. zum ersten Male beieinander sah, wurde ihm einstimmig ein Ehrenplatz unter den Hauptmeistern der amer. Bildniskunst zuerkannt. Da er nur selten Firnis verwendete, war schon bald nach seinem Tode ein Funftel seiner Gemalde in den Fleischpartien sehr verblast. Ein Ganzfigurbildnis Lafayetteis hangt im Kapitol zu Frankfort, Ky.; zahlreiche andere Werke J.s sind im Privatbesitz zu Richmond, Ky., Frankfort, Louisville, Lexington, Danville u. a. O. zerstreut. Ein Hauptwerk, das Bildnis seines Schulers John Grimes (Brustbild in Lebensgrose), befindet sich im New Yorker Metrop. Mus. Die Symptome des Leidens, denen Grimes mit 38 Jahren erlag, pragen sich in dem edlen, feingeschnittenen Junglingsprofil mit dem blassen Tarot, der hektischen Rote der Wangen u. dem Glanz der Iris mit erschreckender Deutlichkeit aus. Die Ausfuhrung ist ebenso zart wie schlicht und in der Farbe auf einen warmen, braunen, von perlgrauen Halbtonen belebten Gesamtton abgestimmt. In der Pennsylvania Art Acad. in Philadelphia ist J. ebenfalls mit einigen guten Stucken vertreten.
