JUSTIN MORGAN 39 



Brimmer was bred by the D'Arcy family ; got by D'Arcy Yel- 

 low Turk : dam, a Barb. 



Place's White Turk was the property of Mr. Place, stud-master 

 to Oliver Cromwell. 



Dodsworth was bred in Barbary about 1674, and, with his dam, 

 a natural Barb, afterward called a Royal mare, imported into Eng- 

 land. 



Very little is known of Morton's Traveler. He was imported 

 into Virginia by James Morton. Edgar states that he stood 

 at Richmond Court House in 1754*. His blood enters very 

 largely into the American thoroughbred horse, especially through his 

 sons, Lloyd's Traveler from imported Jenny Cameron ; Yorick and 

 Tryall from imported Betty Blazella, a daughter of Jenny Cameron ; 

 and Partner and Ariel from Tasker's imported Selima. The last of 

 his get that we have record of were foaled in 1769, and he probably 

 died about that time. No description of him has been handed down, 

 but of his get, that appear in Edgar, two are bay, two brown, three 

 gray, three chestnut, one sorrel and two black. Of these, one is 

 fourteen and three-quarters hands, one fifteen hands, two fifteen and a 

 quarter hands, two fifteen and a half hands, two fifteen and three-quar- 

 ters hands, and three sixteen hands. 



The following advertisements of Lloyd's Traveler are from the 

 Maryland Gazette : 



In 1779. 



"TRAVELER, of elegant form, full sixteen hands high and remark- 

 ably stout; the property of Hon. Edward Lloyd"; to stand near 

 Annapolis. Terms fifteen to forty pounds. "He is allowed by all to 

 be the first stud horse on the continent. SAM COCKAGNE". 



In 1783. 



"TRAVELER, the property of Col. Edward Lloyd, stands this sea- 

 son at my seat on the Potomac and will cover at three guineas. The high 

 pedigrees and properties of this horse are so well known that they 

 need no particular description. HENRY ROGER". 



Lloyd's Traveler ran in some races, but we do not understand 

 that he was eminent as a runner. Yorick, by same sire and from 

 Betty Blazella, a daughter of Jenny Cameron, was very much so, 



* The first stud book of American thoroughbreds, the American Turf Register, was by Edgar, 

 published in 1833. The next was Wallace's American Stud Book, published in 1867. The first o 

 the six volumes of Bruce's American Stud Book, now the established register of the American 

 thoroughbred, was published in 1873. 



Mr. Edgar did a valuable work, but, perhaps from necessity, accepted much unverified mat- 

 ter, thereby admitting many errors, which have been largely copied by later compilers. A care- 

 ful review of the evidence on the early thoroughbred importations and their more immediate de- 

 scendants, we think, might correct many of these errors, and furnish a good deal of additional 

 information.
