  1. DeKalb County, Georgia is named after Johann de Kalb:

    "In July 1777, de Kalb returned to North America with his protégé, the Marquis de Lafayette, to join the Continental Army. Before sailing from France, he had been promised commission as a major general; he was now disappointed and angry to learn that the Continental Congress was not inclined to honor this promise, but with Lafayette's influence he was appointed to the rank on September 5, 1777, which he learned of on the road to return to France.

    "De Kalb was at Valley Forge for most of the winter of 1777–1778, commanding a division of Patterson's and Learned's Brigades. He also wrote letters of introduction for John Adams to the French court."
