GOLDDUST 



BARNARD MORGAN was a dark dapple bay with heavy mane 

 and tail, fifteen and one-half hands high and weighed one thousand 

 pounds. He was bred by Jennison Barnard and his son, Levi N. 

 Barnard, Springfield, Vermont, got by Gifford Morgan and foaled 

 1843. His dam was very dark brown, nearly black, bred by Alvah 

 Newton, Springfield, Vermont, and got by Bonaparte (Judevine 

 Horse), said to be a son of the Hawkins Horse by Justin Mor- 

 gan. Barnard Morgan was kept at Springfield, Vermont, and 

 Cornish, New Hampshire, until April, 1855, when he was sold 

 to John Y. Sawyer, who took him and two of his sons, to Alton, 

 Illinois, where he died about 1872. Levi N. Barnard says: "We 

 had the dam of Barnard Morgan when four years old ; we bought 

 her of George Jones ; he bought of Alvah Newton who bred her. 

 She was a brown mare of above medium size, good speed and 

 walked very fast; she was not very thick built, had remarkable limbs, 

 and bony forearm ; remarkably strong constitution, like all that 

 Bonaparte race of horses". Mr. A. C. Miller of Springfield, Ver- 

 mont, says: "The dam of Barnard Morgan was a strong-going 

 mare, a good roadster, nearly sixteen hands, twelve hundred pounds ; 

 a big, bony mare". Barnard Morgan, Mr. Barnard further states, 

 was a fast walker and could trot a mile inside of three minutes. He 

 received first premium at Windsor County (Vermont) fair in 1848, 

 and also at the Madison County (Illinois) fair, 1855, and was shown 

 in 1857, with twenty-six of his get, at St. Louis, Missouri, attracting 

 much attention.
