About Us

History

Our chapter was organized April 16, 1949, and named after Richard Clinton (1741-1795) who was first commissioned as Captain in the Continental Army, then later became a Colonel. He was a member of the North Carolina General Assembly. He was instrumental in passing a bill to section off a part of Duplin County, to become Sampson County. Our town of Clinton is named in his honor.
