 DESCENDANTS OF BULRUSH MORGAN 



BULRUSH MORGAN 

 See Chapter V. 



MORGAN (DUBOIS') 



Dark bay, 940 pounds; foaled about 1817; bred by Stephen Fisk, 

 Brookfield, Vt. ; got by Bulrush Morgan : dam probably descended from 

 Quicksilver, son of imported Dey of Algiers (Arabian). Sold, about 1820, to 

 Uriah Dubois of Chittenden Co., Vt. Owned several years by Jacob Rolfe, 

 Colchester, Vt. ; afterwards by John Bradlev and Eli Chittenden of Williston, 

 Vt., whose property he died, fall of 1834. His stock generally superior, 

 though not large. Linsley says: " Moved in good style and was fast". The 

 following advertisement of this horse appears in the " Northern Sentinel " of 

 Burlington, Vt., 1828 : "Well known horse, Morgan, at E. Meech's, Shelburne, 

 and at Williston, at $5 ". URIAH DUBOIS. 



In the "Sentinel" of 1824, a horse called Young Morgan is advertised, 

 by E. Thurston of Burlington, to stand at R. H. Gould's, Burlington, Ezra 

 Meech's, Shelburne, and Dan Arnold's, Williston, described : "Of the well- 

 known Morgan breed crossed by the Quicksilver. In bone, muscle and action 

 he is not excelled". D. S. Putnam, now of Rockefeller, 111., formerly of 

 Bethel, Vt., and owner of the celebrated stallion Putnam Morgan, writes : 

 " The Dubois Horse was bred by Stephen Fisk of Brookfield, Vt. ; was a dark 

 bay, sired by Bulrush ; was sold by Fisk to Dubois, and died the property of 

 Eli Chittenden of Williston, the fall of 1834. He was a small horse, not over 

 900 pounds ; his colts were a little under size. He was kept in Chittenden 

 county from the time Fisk sold until he died " This horse has frequently, 

 but we think erroneously, been said to be by Sherman Morgan, and is so 

 given in an advertisement of his son, Pilgrim Morgan, 1849. See Pilgrim Mor- 

 gan. Mr. Linsley gives him by Bulrush.

 Bay with black points, 15 hands, 1000 pounds ; foaled 1833; bred by
