This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 00:10, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

On May 3, 1775, Varnum's Regiment became part of the Army of Observation during the [[Siege of Boston]].

Ward volunteered with 250 Rhode Islanders under [[Christopher Greene]] to support [[Benedict Arnold]] on his [[Benedict Arnold's expedition to Quebec|expedition to Quebec]].  Ward was captured, along with most members of the expedition, on the night of December 31, 1775 and was exchanged sometime in 1776.

Ward was promoted to a major of the 1st Rhode Island Regiment on January 12, 1777, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel on 5 May 1779 (with date of rank retroactive to May 26, 1778).  With the 1st Rhode Island Regiment he fought at the [[Battle of Red Bank]] (October 1777) and the [[Battle of Rhode Island]] (August 1778).<ref>Historical Register of the Continental Army.

===Post war life===
Ward retired from the Continental Army on January 1, 1781, when the 1st and 2nd Rhode Island Regiments were consolidated.  In 1783 he became an original member of the [[Society of Cincinnati]].

After the war, Ward became a merchant and traveled extensively to trade to Asia and Europe. Ward was elected to the [[Annapolis Convention (1786)]].  In 1814, Ward was served as a delegate to the [[Hartford Convention]].<ref>((Cite book |last= |first= |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vWoZAQAAIAAJ |title=Lineage Book of the Charter Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution |date=1903 |publisher=Daughters of the American Revolution |language=en))</ref> He was elected a member of the [[American Antiquarian Society]] in 1815.<ref>[http://www.americanantiquarian.org/memberlistw American Antiquarian Society Members Directory]</ref>
