Loudoun County, Virginia is named after John Campbell, the Fourth Earl of Loudoun (also spelled Loudon). John Campbell led government troops in Scotland during the Jacobite uprising of 1745. He later became Commander of British forces in America 1756-1762. He was offered the position of Governor-General of Virgina but preferred Scotland and returned home in 1762. The arms of Loudoun County are derived from his family coat of arms. "I Byde My Tyme" was the family motto. In the original arms, the eagle had two heads, and the shield was supported on the left by a man in armor carrying a spear, and on the right by a woman carrying an envelope. | Loudoun County, Virginia is named after John Campbell, the Fourth Earl of Loudoun (also spelled Loudon).
