[4] On January 15, 1836, Pine Run Post Office was opened and renamed to Thetford on December 26, 1844.

[10][11] On March 28, 1873, the Whitesburgh Post Office was moved to and renamed Rogersville in Richfield Township.

[7] By 1873, the settlement of Henpeck came into existence at the four corners of sections 12, 14, 23 and 24, the intersections of Belsay and Vienna Roads.

The township board hired a part-time police Chief Thomas Kulcher at the time.

At a March 2008 board meeting, some residents called on the trustees to close the police department given the township was facing a $100-thousand deficit for the budget that was up for approval and greater presence of sheriff's deputies and State Police troopers.

[15] In 2008, the township police department started participating in the Defense Logistics Agency's Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO) surplus equipment program.

After assuming they had permission in May 2017 to be on private property to look for the equipment, the duo were given a citation by Kenny for trespassing.

By December 24, 2017, a group of residents included Eugene Lehr, who was storing 20 LESO items on his property, had filed language for recall petitions for Piechnik and Stevens with language clarity hearing set for December 27.

[18] On April 26, 2018, the Sheriff's Office conducted a warranted search of the police department.

[22] One of the special meeting attendees then confronted and threatened Stevens the next day at the township offices.

July 10 was the deadline for the recall petitions with no word if any were turned in the county clerk-register office.

With the need to hold hearings and approve the ballot language, the township attorney advised them they did not have enough time and discontinue the effort.

[24] Kenny was then arrested on August 22 on two five year charges, embezzlement and obstruction of justice, and arranged the next day.
