What is recorded here
Richard Butler is a birthplace in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps a boy named Richard drew his first breath there in April 1743 before crossing oceans to become a United States general. Maybe the ordinary ground hides the footsteps of a child who grew into a soldier known across two worlds.
Why this person is known: United States general (1743-1791)
