276 THE HOKSE OF AMERICA. 



be considered a little ragged. Stifles very powerful and well- 

 developed. Her hocks and legs were exactly represented in her 

 son Hambletonian. Her neck was fine and bloodlike, but not 

 long. Her head was good, and her eyes remarkably full and 

 bright, showing considerable white. Her mane was long, but 

 thin, and her tail was light. Her shoulders were well-sloped, 

 her withers ran up high, and were thin. Jonas Seely, Sr., hav- 

 ing given the old mare One Eye to his son Charles, she was sold 

 to Josiah S. Jackson, of Oxford, Orange County. Mr. Jackson 

 bred her to Bellfounder and the produce was the Kent mare. 

 Although the Seely family owned the stock, originally and after- 

 ward, Mr. Jackson was really the breeder of this mare. Mr. 

 Jonas Seely says she was got the year Bellfounder stood at 

 Poughkeepsie (1831), but Mr. Rysdyk says she was got in 1832, 

 when Bellfounder stood at Washingtonville. Mr. Jackson sold 

 her at three years old to Peter Seely for three hundred dollars; 

 Mr. Seely sold her soon after to Mr. Pray, of New York, for 

 four hundred dollars; Mr. Pray sold her to William Chi vis for 

 five hundred dollars; and Mr. Chi vis sold her to a gentleman, 

 who was a banker in New York name not remembered to 

 match another as a fast road team. This team ran away after a 

 time, and she was injured, and became lame. Charles Kent, a 

 hutcher in New York, then bought her and bred her to Webber's 

 Tom Thumb, before he came to Orange County. At this junc- 

 ture, on the earnest recommendation of Mr. Pray, who had 

 tested the quality of three or four of the family, Mr. Jonas Seely 

 Jonas, second bought the mare of Kent for one hundred and 

 thirty-five dollars, and took her back to the old place, where she 

 was bred and produced as follows:
