 disposed of him to Captain Singleton, of Philadelphia, who

Busora, an Arabian, imported in 1820 by the Messrs. 

 Ogden, of New York. 



The Jones, Arabian, foaled in 1820, a dapple gray, black 

 legs, mane and tail, 15 hands high. He was purchased by 

 Major Smith, an American consul at Tunis, who sold him to
