97. The Clay family is generally considered to start 

 with Henry Clay, but it really traces back through the 

 male line to Grand Bashaw, imported in 1820 from Tripoli. 

 The latter was fourteen and one-fourth hands high, but 

 was reputed to be a horse of beauty and some speed for 

 those early days. Grand Bashaw was bred to Pearl by 

 First Consul out of Fancy by Messenger, and from this 

 union resulted Young Bashaw, the sire of Andrew Jack- 

 son. Andrew Jackson was a trotter of note in his day, 

 especially as a two-miler. The Long Island Black Hawk 

 line has given us Bashaw 50, and Wapsie. Bashaw 50 is 

 the sire of the dam of Joe Young, 2 : 18. Henry Clay 

 sired Cassius M. Clay 18, which sired George M. Patchen, 

 2 : 23|, champion trotting stallion in 1859-60, and sire of 

 four trotters. Perhaps the most prolific speed line comes 

 through Cassius M. Clay 20, a son of Cassius M. Clay 

 18, for Harry Clay, 2 : 29, with four trotters in the list 

 and sire of the dam of Electioneer, is by C. M. Clay 20, and 

 Clay Pilot is also by the latter. This family attains its 

 notoriety most largely through the remarkably great brood 

 mares that are of this descent, among which may be men- 

 tioned Green Mountain Maid (by Harry Clay), dam of 

 nine trotters, including Electioneer and Beautiful Bells, 

 dam of eleven trotters and eight producing sires.

 the Byerly Turk, Curwen's Bay Barb, the Lowther Barb, 

 Bloody Buttocks and the Godolphin Arabian. In his
