THREE MARES AND THEIR PRODUCE 



ROSEY CLACK was bred in Virginia by W. E. Broadnax 

 of Brunswick County, or by John Clack. Her sire was 

 imp Saltram. Her dam was either Camilla by Melzar 

 or Camilla by Symmes' Wildair both Camillas being 

 owned by Broadnax. Balie Peyton said her dam was 

 the Camilla by Wildair, and in his Reminiscences, No. 8, 

 gives her pedigree extended; which see. 



Rosey Clack was brought to Tennessee by Rev. Hub- 

 bard Saunders about 1812 or 1813, and he owned her and 

 bred from her until her death in 1827. Of her thirteen 

 foals were Oscar by Wilkes' Wonder, 1814; Partnership 

 by Cotton's Volunteer, 1821; Patty Puff by Pacolet, 

 1823; and Washington by Pacolet, 1824. 



MADAM TONSON, by Elliott's Top Gallant, was foaled 

 1814, dam by Dr. Barry's Grey Medley; grandam by 

 imp Oscar; g. grandam by imp Fearnought. Wallace 

 says: "This was one of the most distinguished brood 

 mares this country has produced. She was owned by the 

 Rev. Hardy M. Cryer of Tennessee. Died 1831." 



Madam Tonson's dam, owned by James Cryer, was 

 from the stock of Boswell Johnson, a Virginian, who settled 

 as a close neighbor to Cryer. Among Madam Tonson's ten 

 foals were four sons by Pacolet: Monsieur Tonson, 

 1822; Sir Richard Tonson, 1823; Sir Henry Tonson, 

 1824; Champion, I826. 1 



BLACK SOPHIA was by Elliott's Top Gallant, dam by 

 Lamplighter, grandam by Beeder; by Buie (alias 

 Bowie, alias Bouye). Lamplighter was by imp Medley.
