Rose of Sharon 2d ; by Comet Halley (1855); 

 1839 Virginia, red -arid- white, by Powhatan 

 828^; 1840 Thames, red, by Shakespeare 

 (12062); 1842 Flora, roan, by Shakespeare, 

 and in 1844 Lady of the Lake 2d, red-roan, by 

 Young Shakespeare 1311. All of these heifers 

 left a valuable progeny, some of which, in the 

 hands of Abrain Renick of Kentucky, gained 

 international fame. After the conclusion of 

 this sale the imported bull Duke of Norfolk 

 was resold to Gov. Vance and J. H. James 1 of 

 Champaign County for $1,400. 



Final sale in 1837. On Oct. 24, 1837, the 

 company's affairs were finally closed up by a 

 sale of such stock as still remained in its hands, 

 which consisted at that date of the animals 

 sold as per following list:
