TIMOLEON, foaled 1813; by Sir Archy, dam by imp 

 Sal tram, g. dam by Symmes' Wildair; by imp Fear- 

 nought; by imp Driver; by imp Fallower; by 

 imp Vampire. Wildair's dam was by Jolly Roger. Driv- 

 er's grandam was by Herod. From other sources, also, 

 as previously shown, Timoleon inherited the blood of 

 Herod; also of Matchem; and from several sources the 

 blood of O' Kelly's Eclipse, the two Childers, etc. Fal- 

 lower was by Blank, out of a Partner mare; Vampire was 

 by Regulus, second dam by Partner. 



Timoleon's hind quarters appeared higher than his 

 forehand in which respect, as well as in others, he bore a 

 strong resemblance to his great grand-sire, O' Kelly's 

 Eclipse. It was this peculiar conformation in Eclipse, 

 together with his uncommon strength, that put his agility 

 and stride upon a par. 



Timoleon was 15 hands 3 inches in height; a light chest- 

 nut, his only mark a small star in the forehead. He was 

 bred by Benjamin Jones of Greensville County, Virginia, 

 and ran only in his third and fourth years.
