Clint Vance (left) is shown above with Walter Lang (right) at the memorial marker recently placed for William Richardson, the only Revolutionary War veteran buried in Paulding County, Ohio. William Richardson was 109 years old at the time of his death. The grave site is located at Fought cemetery in Washington Township. Walter Lang is the president of History Matters, Inc., a non-profit group organized to promote preservation and education of historical materials. Clint Vance is the vice- president of John Paulding Historical Society. The plaque was obtained by Marilyn Adkins Salazar, a descendant of Richardson. History Matters provided funding for the installation of the marker, and Clint Vance was instrumental in organizing efforts with the Washington Township trustees to have the project completed.
