Sgt. William Warrington - Ostrander, Ohio - American Revolutionary War Veteran Graves on Waymarking.com

Sgt. William Warrington was born on April 10, 1751 and died May 10, 1850 (according to the new headstone. The original headstone lists the dates as Apr 29, 1751 and May 25, 1851) During this time he served in both the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. His service in the Revolution included being a member of George Washington's Elite Corps of Life Guards. Warrington also was credited with directly saving Washington's life when he caught a man trying to poison Washington's drink.

The original headstone is still here, but it isn't in great shape. A newer stone has been placed at the site by the local Masonic organization. There is also a small sign at the cemetery entrance.
