I am specifically looking for information concerning the selection of Warren County's name. I know it was named after Gen. (Dr.) Joseph Warren who died at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Is it known who suggested the name? Why it was chosen in 1803? Is there any information on the selection of the name?
Usually the name is chosen by the group of people petitioning the state for creation of the county. If you can find the piece of legislation that created the county you may find your answer.
