James Mitchell Varnum was an American legislator, general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, a pioneer to the Ohio Country. "The career of Gen. Varnum was brief, he graduated at twenty. He was a man made on a gigantic scale. James Mitchell Varnum was born in Massachusetts; as a young man he matriculated at Harvard College only to transfer to the College in the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, more known as "Rhode Island College", He graduated with honors in the college's first graduating class in September 1769. In Rhode Island he met his future wife, Martha "Patty" Child, whom he married on February 2, 1770, he studied law under Rhode Island Attorney General Oliver Arnold and was admitted to the bar in 1771. He pursued the practice of law, he began construction of his home, a colonial mansion now known as the Varnum House, in 1773. In October 1774, while tensions were rising between the American colonies and Great Britain, Varnum was elected as captain in command of the newly organized Kentish Guards, a chartered militia company in Varnum's home town of East Greenwich.

Another member of the company was Private Nathanael Greene who would rise to become one of the most distinguished officers in the Continental Army and would soon be Varnum's immediate superior. No fewer than 30 other members of the Kentish Guards would serve as officers in the Continental Army. In May 1775, following the Battles of Lexington and Concord, Varnum was commissioned as colonel in command of one of the three regiments from Rhode Island, under the command of Brigadier General Nathanael Greene, which served in the Army of Observation during the Siege of Boston. In early July 1775 General George Washington arrived in Cambridge to take command of the Army of Observation which became the Continental Army. In the early part of war regiments were identified by the name of their commanding officer. Varnum's Regiment was renamed as the 9th Continental Regiment on January 1, 1776. Varnum's regiment served throughout the Siege of Boston which ended with the evacuation of the British army on March 17, 1776.

In early April the regiment marched to New York where it participated in several battles, including the Long Island and White Plains, in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the British from occupying the city. In December 1776 Varnum returned to Rhode Island to recruit more soldiers for the Rhode Island units in the Continental Army who's enlistments were about to expire. On December 12 Varnum accepted a commission as a brigadier general in Rhode Island Militia and given command of the state's brigade which guarded the state's mainland from possible attack from the British forces which had occupied the important port city of Newport. Varnum's stay in Rhode Island was brief because he was commissioned as a brigadier general in the Continental Army in February 1777, he served as a brigade commander until he resigned in March 1779. During this period he served at the battles of Red Bank, New Jersey in 1777 and the Battle of Rhode Island in 1778, he was at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777 to 1778.

Varnum advocated allowing freed African American slaves to enlist in the Continental Army, which resulted in the reorganization of the 1st Rhode Island Regiment as a racially integrated unit in 1778. Varnum was a disciple of Major General Charles Lee and a serious critic of the position of Inspector General held in 1778 by Baron Von Steuben. In March 1779 Varnum resigned his Continental Army commission because of personal business matters, he was commissioned as the major general in command of the Rhode Island Militia in May 10, 1779 and held the position until he was relieved by Major General Joseph Stanton, Jr. on May 7, 1788. He led Rhode Island troops in the service of the United States in July and August, 1780, under the Comte de Rochambeau who commanded the French army sent by King Louis XVI of France. In common with 33 of the 81 generals in the Continental Army, Varnum was a Freemason, he attended St. John's Lodge, No. 1 in Providence. In 1783, at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, along with General George Washington, Nathanael Greene, Henry Knox, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Pinckney, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and numerous others, General Varnum became an original member of the Society of the Cincinnati and served as president of the Rhode Island Society, following the death of Nathanael Greene, from 1786 until his death in 1789.

He represented Rhode Island at the Continental Congress in Philadelphia from May 3, 1780 to May 1, 1782 and in the 8th Confederation Congress which convened in New York from November 6, 1786 to October 30, 1787. The 8th Confederation Congress passed the Northwest Ordinance on July 13, 1787 which opened settlement in the Northwest Territories. Varnum was well known as a jurist, he represented the defendant in Trevett v. Weeden, one of the earliest cases of judicial review. On A

Edmund Butler was appointed as the Catholic Archbishop of Cashel in 1527. He was the illegitimate son of 8th Earl of Ormonde. In 1539 he conformed to the Church of Ireland retaining his temporalities. Butler studied at Oxford University, became a friar of the Trinitarian Order, was appointed prior of the abbey of that order at Athassel in the County of Tipperary. In 1524, Butler was nominated by the pope to the archbishopric of Cashel, with permission to retain the priory of Athassel; the consecration of Butler took place in 1527. He was a member of the privy council in Ireland, held a provincial synod at Limerick in 1529, and, on the dissolution of religious houses in Ireland, surrendered the abbey of Athassel to the crown. Butler swore the Oath of Supremacy at Clonmel early in 1539, he was present in the parliament at Dublin in 1541 which enacted the statute conferring the title of'King of Ireland' on Henry VIII and his heirs. The communication addressed to the king on this subject, bearing the signature of the Archbishop of Cashel, has been reproduced on plate lxxi in the third part of'Facsimiles of National Manuscripts of Ireland.'

Butler's autograph and archiepiscopal seal were attached to the'Complaint' addressed to Henry VIII in 1542 by'the Gentlemen and Freeholders of the county of Tipperary.' This document appears in the same'Facsimiles.' A letter from Butler to the Protector, Somerset, in 1548, is preserved among the state papers in the Public Record Office, London. In 1549-50 Butler took part at Limerick with James, Earl of Desmond, the king's commissioners, in the enactment of ordinances for the government of Munster. References to Butler and his proceedings concerning public affairs in the districts of Ireland with which he was connected occur in the English governmental correspondence of his time. Butler died on 5 March 1551, was buried in the cathedral at the Rock of Cashel, under an elaborate marble monument which he had erected, but which does not now exist; this article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: "Butler, Edmund".
