Counties Named for Governors

The other day we noted that Broward County was named for Florida Governor Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, and that three other counties also were named for twentieth century Florida governors. What are the other three?

1) Gilchrist County

2) Hardee County

3) Martin County

Interestingly, both Hardee and Martin counties were named for sitting governors.
