	Ouch, tough but fun. And on the plus side, I've finally figured out who exactly it was that my middle school was named after.

	you are forced to type both first and last name of abel upshur. doesn't just accept upshur. maybe that's why it's least guessed.

	Hmmm... you seem to be missing Henry Kissinger's service under Richard Nixon around the year 3000.

	I love absolutely love Eagleburger's name.

	I live on the corner of Upshur Street and was all ready to feel superior when, blam, "Upshur" doesn't work. Alas, I couldn't remember Upshur Street's namesake's given name... :(

	Looking at the list, it's amazing to see how many have places in DC named after them. I'd venture there may be more named after SecStates than there are after presidents. (Just the streets include Upshur, Sherman, Evarts, Knox, Randolph, etc., not to mention Olney, MD, and Dulles Airport...)

	I put in Upshur and Livingston and both were not accepted for some reason.

	My strategy was to type the last four or so, kissinger and the move on to typing the presidents' surnames.
