inch high. He won 19 races in England; 14 of them 

 4-mile races; 6 of them he won at three heats, beat- 

 ing the best horses in England, and is said never to 

 have lost a race when the heats were broken. He was 

 sent to the West Indies, thence imported into North 

 Carolina in 1803. In six years he covered 508 mares at 

 $28 each, and netted his owner $10,000. He sired the 

 dam of Sir Charles and the dam of Stockholder. His 

 cross was highly esteemed in Tennessee. He died and 

 was buried at Oaklands, the home of Col. W. R. Johnson, 

 according to one authority; Bruce says he died in Ten- 

 nessee in 1809. 



In 1814 and 1815 Pacolet was advertised by Gen. An- 

 drew Jackson, Col. Edward Ward and James Jackson to 

 stand at J. W. Clay's. In 1816 he was advertised by his 

 owners, James Jackson and John Childress (or Childers) 

 to stand at Clay's. In 1817 he stood at "the Flat below 

 Nashville." Later he was taken to Mississippi but was 

 brought back to Tennessee in 1821 or before as the prop- 

 erty of Col. George Elliott, and stood at Elliott's farm 

 until his death about 1825 or 1826. Service $20; $40. 

 Pacolet was the sire of many horses and mares famed for 

 their performances and their offspring. 



"Citizen," wrote Judge Williams, "had more accurate 

 proportions and higher finish a more game, Arabian 

 look and carriage than any native or imported that I 

 ever had the pleasure to look upon. Pacolet had the 

 Arabian air but wanted something of his sire's finish in 

 the shoulder. Yet his bearing was proud and lofty."
