four bull calves, including besides the 

 above a roan bull, Tom Bigbee by Prince 

 Albert 2d, calved in 1848, that proved a 

 show bull. The records, however, would 

 make it appear that she had a fifth bull 

 calf, for Bulmer, Jr. 302, by Bulmer 300, 

 on page 109 of volume 2 of the Shorthorn 

 herd book, is given as a son of Young 

 Mary by Jupiter. This statement, how- 

 ever, William Warfield informs me, is not 

 true, and should have been corrected 

 years ago in the herd book. When 

 the Isaac Cunningham herd was auc- 

 tioned off in 1855 nineteen head of "thor- 

 oughbred Durham cows" catalogued with 

 one exception were Young Marys. Of 

 these two were from Pocahontas, ten 

 from Hannah Moore, four from Judith 

 Clark and two from Lilac all daughters 

 of Young Mary. At Solomon Vanmeter's 

 sale in 1859, when thirty-seven females 

 were sold, nineteen were Young Marys. 



Hannah Moore and Pocahontas were 

 the most useful daughters of Young 

 Mary. The former was foundress of the 

 Beck Taylor, Leslie and Flat Creek 

 branches of the family, and the latter of 

 the Red Rose. Judith Clark, one of the 

 other daughters, was a valuable breeder, 

 the Grace Youngs and Leopardess strains 

 descending from her. 



The great breeding value of the blood 

 of Young Mary became manifest at once 

 in the mating of John Randolph 603, a 

 son of Young Phyllis (imp.) to Hannah 

 Moore, from which came Queen Anne 

 that was later the dam of Albert Gal- 

 latin 202, by Prince Albert 2d 857. 



A daughter of Hannah Moore named 

 Beck was mated with much success to 

 to a show Young Phyllis bull, Dick Tay- 

 lor, resulting in a red heifer that was 

 named Beck Taylor. She was foundress 

 of a popular branch of the Young Mary 

 tribe. From Pocahontas was descended 

 two remarkable Red Rose cows, owned 

 by Ben F. Vanmeter, Red Rose 8th and 

 llth. These became famous show cows 

 iri some of the greatest shows in Ken- 

 tucky. Red Rose 8th was champion 

 Shorthorn cow at the Philadelphia cen- 

 tennial. Her sister was also a prize 

 cow at the same show. Later the Grooms 

 of Kentucky bought and exported Red 

 Rose 8th to England, where she was 

 sold for $1,750, while Red Rose llth was 

 purchased by Mr. Fox of the same coun- 

 try at $2,325. A son of Red Rose llth 

 was champion 4-year-old steer at the 

 first American fat stock show held at 

 Chicago.
