SOME HISTORIC KENTUCKY STOCK. 317 



colony of Anne Arundel Co., near Annapolis, 

 Md. In October, 1790, Elisha Warfield and his 

 wife, Ruth Burgess (descended from Gen. Wil- 

 liam Burgess, who commanded the troops of the 

 colony of Maryland in the latter part of the 

 seventeenth century), removed to Fayette Co., 

 Ky., from Anne Arundel Co., Md., bringing with 

 them their sons, Elisha, born in 1781, and Ben- 

 jamin, born Feb. 8, 1790. They settled about 

 seven miles east of Lexington, near Bryan's 

 Station. Benjamin Warfield began to breed 

 cattle in 1824, but had no pure-bred Short-horns 

 until 1831. He practiced law until the outbreak 

 of the war of 1812, and again until 1831; mean- 

 time purchasing the farm of Grasmere, near 

 Lexington. His brother, Dr. Elisha Warfield, 

 also engaged in stock-breeding, but gave more 

 attention to the Thoroughbred horse than to 

 cattle; breeding old Lexington and other celeb- 

 rities of the turf. The former became the 

 owner of Mrs. Motte's bull Partnership (6277) 

 and of the Durham Cow's daughter Lady 

 Durham, by San Martin (2599). The latter 

 owned the Teeswater Cow's bull Mirandi (4428), 

 by San Martin, and Messrs. Smith & Warfield 

 bought the Teeswater Cow's daughter Pink, by 

 Munday's Bull 727.* At a later date, when 



* The " Seventeens " were brought by Col. Sanders to Fayette, and Mrs 

 Motte and the Teeswater Cow were retained there, the property of Messrs, 

 Munday and Hag-grin, respectively. The Durham Cow was taken by the 

 Importer to Gallatin County. See page 173.
