THE BtUE BULL AND OTHER MINOR FAMILIES. 365 



known in Virginia as Hiatoga, and also American Hiatoga, but 

 nothing is known of the blood of his dam. Nothing is known of 

 his speed or his progeny except through the two sons here given. 



Hiatoga, generally designated as "Old Togue,"' was got by 

 Rice's Hiatoga; dam by Thunderbolt, grandam by Black or Bold 

 Rover. He was foaled 1843 and was bred by David W. Brown, of 

 Perry County, Ohio; sold 1849 to John Joseph, Kirkersville, 

 Ohio, where he made some seasons and was sold 1855 to Alvah 

 Perry, Lancaster, where he remained till 1863, and was sold to 

 Harvey Wilson, and two years later to William McDonald, 

 Columbus, Ohio, where he died 1871. This horse left excellent 

 stock and many of them fast pacers, but they never cut much 

 figure on the turf. 



HI*ATOGA (HAXLEY'S) was a bay pacing horse of good size and 

 -quality and was very popular as a sire. He was foaled 1849, got 

 by Rice's Hiatoga; dam an elegant bay mare sixteen hands high 

 .and represented to be of "Sir Peter and Eclipse blood/' This 

 mare was formerly given as byFiretail, but the present rendering, 

 whatever it may mean, comes from sources with opportunities 

 to know. He was bred by John Bright, of Fairfield County, sold 

 to Joseph Watt, and taken to Harrison County and then to Jeffer- 

 son County, and sold to James Davis Tweed. He next passed 

 through the hands of David Rittenhouse and Moses Hanley, of 

 Hopedale, Ohio, and after three or four years in the stud Mr. 

 Hanley sold him to David Rittenhouse, John Wiley and Samuel 

 Hanley for two thousand five hundred dollars, and he died the 

 property of Mr. Rittenhouse near Hopedale, Ohio, 1858. Two 

 of his progeny entered the 2:30 list; three of his sons left thir- 

 teen performers, and three daughters produced five. 



HIATOGA (SCOTT'S) was a bay pacer foaled 1858, got by Han- 

 ley's Hiatoga; dam by Blind Tuckahoe (pacer); grandam by Con- 

 sul. This horse was quite fast and paced under the name of 

 Tuscarawas Chief. He was the best of the family and was bred 

 .and owned by Samuel Scott, East Springfield, Jefferson County, 

 Ohio. He put five trotters and four pacers in the 2:30 list; seven 

 of his sons and seventeen of his daughters were producers. 



The Hiatoga family seems to have no trotting inheritance ex- 

 cept from the pacer. It is a useful family and still has vitality.
