BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Br FRANCIS p. BLAIR.
GEM WIN. o. BUTLER, OF KENTUCKY

In memoirs Of individuals of distinc-
iion, il is usual TO look back TO their an
.cestry. The feeling is universal which
prompts us to learn something ofeven
an ordinary acquaintance in whom an
interests felt. 1t will indulge, there
fore, only a natural and proper curiosi-
ty to introduce the subject Of this no.
ics by short account Of a family
whose striking traits survive in him so
remarkably .-Alash ssdi iasi .a's '.l '4'
General Buffers grandfather, Thorn
as Butler, was born 9Th April, 1920, in
Kilkenny, Ireland. He married there
in l749. Three Of his FIVE sons who
attained manhood, Richard, William,
aud Thomas, were born abroad.
Percival,,he father Of General William O
Butler, and Edward, the youngest son,
were born in Pennsylvania. 1t is re-,
markable that all these men, and all
their immediate male defendants, with
single exception, were, engaged in
the military service OF his country.
The eldest, Richard, was lieutenant
colonel Of Morgan's celebrated rifle
regiment, and to him it owed much
Of the high character that gave it a
fame Of its own. apart from the other
corps Of the revolution. The cool dis.
ciplined valor which gave steady and
deadly direction to the rifles Of this
regiment, was derived principally from
this officer, who devoted himself TO the
drill Of his men. He was promoted 10
the full command of regiment some
time during the war, and in that capa-
city commanded Wayne's left in the
attack on Stony Point. About the
year 1890, he was appointed major
general. On the 4th Of November.
i79i, he was killed in Gen. ST. Clair's
bloody battle with the Indians. His
combat with the Indians, after he was
shot, gave such peculiar interes! to
his fate, That a representation OF him
SELF andsthe group surrounding him was
exhibited throughout the Union in wax
figures, Notices Of this accomplished
soldier will DO found in Marshall's Lie
