James Mitchell Varnum
James Mitchell Varnum (December 17, 1748 – January 9, 1789) was an American legislator, lawyer, general〔Heitman, ''Officers of the Continental Army'', 559.〕 in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and a pioneer to the Ohio Country.〔Wilkins, ''Memoirs of the Rhode Island Bar'', 145-239.〕〔Hildreth, ''Early Pioneer Settlers of Ohio'', 165-85.〕〔Conley, ''Rhode Island's Founders'', 134-37.〕〔Dodge, '' Directory of the United States Congress 1774-2005'', 2089.〕〔Leiter, ''Generals of the Continental Army'', 102-03.〕 "The career of Gen. Varnum was active, but brief. He graduated at ''twenty''; was admitted to the bar at ''twenty-two''; entered the army at ''twenty-seven''; resigned his commission at ''thirty-one''; was member of Congress the same year; resumed practice at ''thirty-three'', and continued four years, was elected to Congress again at ''thirty-seven''; emigrated to the west at ''thirty-nine'', and died at the early age of ''forty''."〔Hildreth, ''Early Pioneer Settlers of Ohio'', 184-85.〕
James Mitchell Varnum was "a man of boundless zeal, of warm feelings, of great honesty, of singular disinterestedness; and, as to talents, of prodigal imagination, a dextrous reasoner, and a splendid orator. He was a man made on a gigantic scale; his very defects were masculine and powerful, 'and, we shall not soon look upon his like again.'"〔Hildreth, ''Early Pioneer Settlers of Ohio'', 185.〕
