YOUNG MORRILL, WINTHROP MORRILL, 

 FEARNAUGHT, ROYAL FEARNAUGHT 



YOUNG MORRILL (Perkins') was a dark bay horse, fifteen and 

 three-quarters hands in height, and weighed eleven hundred and sixty 

 pounds. He was bred by Fred Smith, Walden, Vermont; got by 

 Morrill, son of the Jennison Colt, and was foaled about 1850. His dam is 

 described by French Morrill, Danville, Vermont, as a square, chunked, 

 round mare, bay, bred by Seneca Ladd, Danville, Vermont, and got 

 by the Lock Goss Horse, son of Chanticleer; second dam a very 

 noted road mare, bay with stripe in face and white hind foot and 

 white spot on side, fifteen hands, nine hundred and fifty pounds, bred 

 by Rev. M. Boardman, Danville, Vermont, got by Randolph Horse, 

 son of Bulrush Morgan ; third dam the Boardman mare, a cele- 

 brated mare said to have been brought from Connecticut. 



Young Morrill was sold in turn to Chas. Dana, Danville, Ver- 

 mont ; Jesse Drew, Danville ; John Drew, St. Johnsbury ; French Mor- 

 rill, Danville ; Town & Trow, Barre ; Wm. A. Hill and Brother, Man- 

 chester, New Hampshire ; Mr. Perkins, Manchester, later of Cam- 

 bridge, Massachusetts, who paid for him four thousand dollars. He 

 went to Iowa in the fall of 1880 and died there a few weeks later. 

 He was a superior trotting horse, and a very noted sire. He showed 

 a mile to saddle in 2:26; to harness in 2:30. He received a first 

 premium at the Vermont State fairs at Montpelier, 1853, and at Rut- 

 land, 1855 ; also first premium, of two hundred dollars, at National 

 Horse exhibition at Boston, Massachusetts, October, 1855. Linsley 

 says: " A heavy, close, compact and enduring horse". 



The Lock Goss Horse was dark bay, black points, fifteen and a 

 half hands high, and weighed eleven hundred pounds. He was bred by 

 Lock Goss of Waterford, Vermont. His sire was Chanticleer and his 

 dam is said to have been a daughter of the Justin Morgan. He died 

 the property of his breeder about 1 843 . This horse has generally been 

 called a son of Sherman Morgan, but George Barker of St. Johnsbury, 

 Vermont, informed us that he was got by Chanticleer when owned
