DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 337

 Morgan : dam said to be by Royal Morgan, son of Sherman Morgan ; and 2d

 F. Harvey, Barnston, P. Q. ; to T. M. Paterson, Paterson Mills, Penn., for 

 $1200, 1859, and died his property, 1873. 



An advertisement of him in the " Stanstead Journal" of 1857, by I. F. 

 Harvey, states : " Sultan possesses in an eminent degree the peculiar excellence 

 of the Morgan family, beauty, style, speed and bottom. Received the ist 

 premium at Stanstead Agricultural society in 1856 ". 



T. M. Paterson writes : " I kept the Harvey Horse, known as Sultan 

 Morgan, for the benefit of our community. He was the finest stock horse 

 in western Pennsylvania ; got more matched teams and good roadsters than 

 any other horse that has ever been in our county. At that time we had no 

 thoroughbred mares here to breed to him, generally large, coarse mares, but 

 for all that a great number of his colts showed speed. Many of them 

 weighed from 1200 to 1400 pounds; they made fine carriage and saddle 

 horses, and many of them splendid farm horses. Sultan Morgan was never 

 in regular training with me, except one fall, after the season was over, I gave 

 him to a trainer for 40 days. In that time he learned to trot in 2 -.44. He 

 was a born trotter ; did not require any weights, boots or other trimmings. 

 He stood for 14 years at Paterson Mills, Penn., and did a good business every 

 year ".

 Brown, now of North Leominster, Mass., writes : " He was sound, spirited 

 and stylish to the time of his death. His stock were uniform in shape and 

 color, stylish and speedy, and although he did a very large service in 

 the three counties for over 20 years, 120 mares each year, scarcely one 

 of his colts can be found there ; many of them were sold as matched 

 pairs ; most of them were black, bay or very dark chestnut, and all had 

 the Morgan style and spirit, and were great roadsters. He had strong 

 limbs, heavy bone, good feet, mane and tail long and wavy, beautiful 

 style and proud action. I had no opportunity to train him, but he trotted 

 a race on ice in 2 -.48".
