1 10 Making the American Thoroughbred 



(9) DANIEL O'CONNELL, foaled 1832; by Sir Henry 

 Tonson, dam by imp Sir Harry; grandam by imp 

 Diomed. Bred by G. W. Parker and sold to Col. Robert 

 Smith of Murfreesboro for $1,200. Later he went south. 

 After closing his career on the turf he became celebrated 

 as a stallion. As a 2-year old he ran a mile in 1 149 an 

 unusual feat for his period. 



(10) QUEEN OF TRUMPS (Jesse Cage's) ; foaled 1835; by 

 Leviathan, dam Fanny Maria by Pacolet; sold to Thomas 

 J. Wells of Louisiana. 



(n) FANNY BELL (Jesse Haynie's); foaled 1833; by 

 Murat, dam by Tennessee Oscar; sold to Col. Robert 

 Smith, of Murfreesboro, for $2,000; later was taken South 

 and her promising career begun in Sumner County was 

 cut short by incompetent handling. 



(12) JOHN MALONE (formerly Dr. Duncan) (Jo C. 

 Guild's); foaled 1836, by imp Leviathan, dam Proser- 

 pine by Tennessee Oscar. 



(13) BOYD McNAiRY (George Elliott's); foaled 1836, 

 full brother to Sarah Bladen. After a successful career 

 on the turf served as stallion in Kentucky. 



Still other chips off these old foundation blocks, con- 

 temporaneous with those named above, were: 



(14) HORTENSIA, by Pacific, dam Bet Bosley by Wilkes' 

 Wonder; bred by Duke W. Sumner, of Davidson. 



(15) NARRCISSA PARRISH, by Stockholder, dam by imp 

 Eagle; bred by William McCrory, of Davidson. 



(16) JIM POLK, by Stockholder, dam by imp Eagle; 

 bred by Henry Smith, of Maury, and sold by him for 

 $2,500. 



All of these horses were sold to Mississippi and Louisiana 

 and proved true to their family name and reputation, in 

 the rivalries between their new owners.
