GIFFORD MORGAN, GREEN MOUNTAIN 



MORGAN 



GlFFORD MORGAN, by Woodbury Morgan, was bred by Ziba 

 Gifford, Tunbridge, Vermont, and foaled June 1 3th, 1824. He was 

 chestnut, almost a dark brown in the sun, weighed about one thou- 

 sand pounds, and was fourteen and a half hands high. His dam, 

 foaled June 2ist, 1819, was bay, and weighed about one thousand 

 pounds. She is said to have been got by Henry Dundas, son of 

 Woolsey. 



Henry Dundas is advertised in " Spooner's Vermont Jour- 

 nal", by C, Lynde, Williamstown, under date of April i8th, 1800, 

 to stand at Williamstown, Berlin and Montpelier, Vermont,, at three 

 and four dollars. He is advertised again in 1811 and 1814 to stand 

 at Randolph and Braintree, Vermont, and it is stated that he was by 

 Woolsey. 



Woolsey we suppose to be the same as Cardinal Woolsey or 

 Hough Horse, that was advertised, 1/96 and 1797, at Lebanon, New 

 Hampshire, by Joel Tildenand Sam Bingham, and described as bright 

 bay, sixteen and a half hands, foaled 1 788, and full blooded ; and this 

 Hough Horse we suppose again to be the same as Cardinal W'oolsey, ad- 

 vertised in " Baltimore (Maryland) Journal and Advertiser", 1792, to 

 stand eighteen miles from Baltimore ; described as light bay with 

 large star and snip, fifteen and a half hands, foaled 1788, bred by 

 Richard Chew, Maryland ; got by imported Cardinal Puff, son of 

 Cardinal Puff : dam by Chatham ; second dam by Hamilton's imported 

 Figure; third dam by Hamilton's imported Dove; fourth dam by a 

 Barb. Chatham is probably the horse of that name bred by William 

 Stith of Virginia, foaled 1774; got by Spadille, son of imported 

 Janus ; dam by imported Fearnaught ; second dam by import- 

 ed Juniper, and third dam an imported thoroughbred mare.
