THE KENTUCKY IMPORTATION OF 1817. 163 



invoice of the cattle, which only partially described them. This 

 invoice Col. Sanders gave, as follows : 



"No. i. Bull from Mr. Clement. Winston, on the river Tees, got 

 by Mr. Constable's bull, brother to Comet," afterwards (155) E. H. B. 

 The name of this bull was San Martin, afterwards (2599) in E. H. B. 



" No. 2. Bull, Holderness breed, from Mr. Scott, out of a cow 

 which gave 34 quarts of milk per day." The name of this bull was 

 Tecumseh, afterwards (5409) E. H. B. 



" No. 3. Bull from Mr. Reed, West-holme, of his own old breed." 

 This bull is probably the one called Comet, afterwards 1382, A. H. B. 

 Said to have been got by either Comet (155), or his brother North Star 

 (458), E. H. B. 



" No. 4. Bull, Holderness breed, from Mr. Humphreys, got by 

 Mr. Mason's bull, of Islington." No Herd Book record appears to 

 have since been made of this bull, and we know not what became of 

 him. Mr. Clay states that one of the bulls " was sold to Capt. Fowler, 

 who afterwards sold him to Gen. Fletcher, and was taken to Bath 

 county, Ky., where he died." 



Of the females, the invoice states that 



" No. 7, was a heifer from Mr. Wilson, Staindrop, Durham breed. 



" Nos. 8, 9, 10, were heifers from Mr. Shipman, on the river Tees, 

 of his own breed. 



"In the division of the Short-horns above named, Col. Sanders 

 became owner of the bulls San Martin and Tecumseh." Col. San- 

 ders states that Comet became the property of Dr. Tegarden. 



" Of the Shipman heifers, No. 7 became the property of Captain 

 Smith, and was called the 'Durham Cow.' 



" Of the four remaining, twxxwere retained by Col. Sanders. One 

 of which was called ' Mrs. Motte, alra the other named the ' Teeswater 

 Cow.'" 



The other fourth heifer died in Maryland, never having reached 

 Kentucky. 



This disposes of the Short-horns of the importation. 



" Of the Long-horns, Capt. Smith was the owner of one of the bulls, 

 called 'Bright.' Dr. Tegarden took the other, and called him 'Ris- 

 ing Sun,' which, by some strange mistake, is recorded in the English 

 Short-horn Herd Book as number (6386). 



"Of the Long-horn cows, No. n was called the 'Long-horn Cow,' 

 and No. 12, 'Georgia Ann,' the property of the gentlemen who 

 owned the Long-horn bulls."
