ETHAN ALLEN 

 See Chapter VII. 



YOUNG ETHAN 



Foaled Jan. 2, 1854; bred by H. M. Vinson, Jamaica Plains, Mass.; 

 got by Ethan Allen : dam Duchess (dam of Sea Foam 2 124^), gray, foaled 

 about 1844, bought by Mr. Vinson of Wm. Wellington, then keeping a liv- 

 ery at Jamaica Plains, Mass., and who purchased her the year previous, not 

 known where, breeding entirely unknown. Sold, February, 1856, to H. Max- 

 well Reed, who took him to Bloomington, 111. We have received a letter from 

 H. M. Vinson, which says : " I bred Duchess at once after purchasing her, 

 to Ethan Allen, then standing at Cambridge. The next summer, early, she 

 brought me a bay horse colt, when she was bred again to Ethan. Her second 

 colt was a gray. Ethan Allen having now gone to Vermont with Mr. Roe, 

 his owner, to stand at Larrabee's Point, I transferred the gray mare and her 

 colt to Vermont, care of Mr. Roe. There she had two other colts to Ethan 

 Allen, making four in all, one bay and three grays. Ethan having now gone 

 up to $100, I bred the mare to Columbus Jr., also standing at the Point. 

 This time she missed, but after raised three colts from Young Columbus, 

 the first being Sea Foam ".
