About the Book

William Richmond Sr. was born in 1752 in Pennsylvania. In 1775 he moved to Virginia, where he enlisted in the Continental Army and became a soldier in the Revolutionary War. After the conflict, Richmond ran a ferry on the New River. He married three times and had ten children. According to William Richmond's sworn testimony (documented at his Revolutionary War Pension hearing in 1832) he served one year at Fort Savannah, one year at Fort Randolph and one month of special service. He was a soldier from 1775 until 1777. This book provides proof that In 1848, at the age of 96, William's family had a daguerreotype picture taken of him. He was one of only a few soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War to be photographed. The book "William Cody Richmond - Revolutionary War Soldier" is the historical biography of William Cody Richmond (1752-1850), which was researched and accepted into the United States Library of Congress as an accurate depiction of his life. Born in Pennsylvania in 1752. Richmond moved to Botetourt County (now Greenbrier County, West Virginia) in 1775, where he enlisted in the Continental Army. He was assigned to Lieutenant Wood's Company in the Third Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel Neville. The company was first ordered to Fort Savannah, Virginia (now Lewisburg) where they spent the winter. In the spring of 1776, the soldiers marched to Point Pleasant where they helped to build Fort Randolph. William Cody Richmond served with honor and lived for more than fifty years after the birth of the United States of America. He was one of the few Revolutionary War veterans to be photographed before his death in 1850. That photo is on the cover of the book. It has been authenticated by a certified genealogist as being that of William Cody Richmond. The daguerreotype was taken at the home of Shadrack Martin in 1848 by a photographer from the Lyons Daguerreotype Studio in Richmond, Virginia, and the photo has remained in the hands of relatives since that time. In 1982, John Haskel Richmond was interviewed by the Hinton News newspaper, and produced the original photo for the reporter. Since that time, hundreds of copies of the photo have been made and are owned by family members. The book is filled with details about Richmond's military service, and contains numerous documents and pictures that provide a glimpse into his life before, during and after the war. It also provides proof that Fort Savannah (originally Fort Union) had been built by 1774, and that the route William Richmond took when he was sent to Fort Randolph was the same one used by the soldiers traveling to Point Pleasant in 1774. William Richmond Sr. died in 1850 at the age of 98. This book contains his biography as well as numerous historical records that provide evidence for many of the events in his life.
