1/2 HISTORY OF THE SHORT-HORNS. 



pertaining to their proposed labors, but the project was never carried 

 out. It is chiefly from such material that our information, at second 

 hand, has been derived. 



In November, 1817, Mr. Samuel Williams, of Massachusetts, then 

 a merchant, residing in London, England, purchased of the cele- 

 brated breeder, Mr. Wetherell, and sent to his brother, Stephen 

 Williams, of Northboro', Mass., the bull "Young Denton " (963), 16 

 months old. (This pedigree in Vol. 2, E. H. B., says Mr. Wetherell 

 sold him to Col. Powel, near Philadelphia, Pa., but that is an error.) 

 The bull arrived in Boston, Mass. He remained in that State until 

 the year 1827 or '28, when he was taken to Maine, where he died 

 April 16, 1830. We saw the bull in Massachusetts in the year 1822, 

 then owned by Mr. Williams. He was a fine animal. 



In 1818 Mr. Cornelius Coolidge, of Boston, imported the bull 

 Ccelebs, 349, and cow Flora, by Son of Comet (155), both bred by 

 Mr. Mason, of Chilton. From them descended many good animals 

 whose pedigrees are in the American Herd Book. 



About the year i82o-'2i, Mr. Law, of Baltimore, or Washington, 



D. C., imported the cow Rosemary, by Flash (261), bred by Mr. 

 Curwen. Rosemary afterwards passed into the possession of Col. 

 Powel, of Philadelphia, Pa., and from her many distinguished ani- 

 mals of Kentucky and other States are descended. Mr. Law may at 

 the same time have imported another animal or two. If so, we have 

 no account of their names. 



In 1821 the late Colonel John S. Skinner, of Baltimore, imported 

 for Governor Lloyd, of Maryland, the bull Champion (864), the 

 cows Shepherdess, by Magnet (302), and White Rose, by Warrior 

 (673) ; all these were bred by Mr. Coates, the first editor of the 



E. H. B. Shepherdess afterwards became the property of Colonel 

 Powel. What became of White Rose is not known. She was the 

 dam of Wye Comet (1591), by Blaize (76), got in England, but born 

 in America, the property of Mr. Law. He was afterwards owned and 

 used by Col. Powel, and finally by Mr. Watson, of Connecticut. 



In 1822 Mr. Williams, of London, before named, also sent to his 

 brother the cow Arabella, by North Star (460), bred by Mr. Weth- 

 erell. From her came numerous descendants whose pedigrees are 

 found in the several volumes of the American Herd Book. 



In or about the year 1822 several cows were imported into Boston 

 by Messrs. Lee, Orr, Monson, and perhaps others, chiefly from the 

 stock of Mr. Wetherell, before mentioned ; among these were Tube- 

 rose, by North Star (460), owned by Mr. Monson, and Harriet, by
