The counties in Michigan and Georgia are named after John Macpherson Berrien.

Michigan was naming counties after Jackson's Cabinet members. I guess out of gratitude, since they where up for statehood and these were the guys that got to vote on it.
(John Berrien voted against California's statehood. Maybe they should have named a county after him!)
Georgia was paying tribute to a well-liked Senator and U.S. Attorney General from their state.
Anyway as a result of the county names, here are some interesting sites.

Berrien Hills C.C.

(I've gotten a few shirts and a hat from this place.)

It's good to be the King. I figure if the right (million or so) people suddenly drop dead. I may be in line for the throne. "Long live King Ralph!"
