Did you know that: Daviess Co. was named after Joseph Hamilton DAVIESS, who gave his life for his country on the bloody field of Tippacanoe where he was killed in a cavalry charge. He married a sister of Chief Justice MARSHALL** and, had he lived, he would have attained the highest round in the gift of his profession. Lanita's Note: ** it was at the tolling for Chief Justice MARSHALL's funeral that the Liberty Bell was said to have cracked. [it helps to have a dad who was a history teacher!]
