 and Joseph Coleman, first mayor of Nashville) stood in charge of 

 J. W. Clay "on the hill adjoining town near the College seat."

 for sale at $2,500 cash or $3,250 in negroes, land warrants, young 

 mares or geldings. Season 1808 at R. C. Foster's. Sold South, 

 brought back and died 1814 in Williamson County, property of

STILL OTHER GOOD STALLIONS 

 Other stallions of this decade were as follows: 



BIG QUICKSILVER, by Quicksilver, dam by Shakespeare. Owned by 

 Simeon Buford; 1806 at Nashville; 1808 at Lower Ferry. 



BLOODY FLAG. Advertised by Simeon Buford to stand at Lewis 

 Demoss' on Big Harpeth, 1808. Buford says he "was by my cele- 

 brated horse, Union, out of the dam of President." 



BUOY, alias BUFORD'S DEFEAT. Advertised by John Park and David 

 Barclay to stand 1807, "two miles east of Jefferson" ; few best 

 mares $50; highest price of all stallions of this decade except 

 Truxton in one year. Judge William Williams said this horse 

 was by Janus and got his name from his owner, Bowie. This 

 Bowie was probably a member of the famous family of Bowie- 

 knife fame that lived awhile (according to Cisco's "Historic 

 Sumner County") near James Cryer's farm in Sumner County. 

 One member, at least, of this family was a breeder in Mississippi 

 or Louisiana in after years.
