The following is a copy of a certificate attached to an advertisement of 

 Pilgrim Morgan by Victor Adams, dated April, 1849 : "We were the owners 

 of the horse known in Chittenden county as the Dubois Morgan for several 

 years before his death. He was sired by the celebrated Sherman Morgan. 

 The Dubois Morgan was a very perfect and powerful horse of a beautiful bay 

 color, and his stock generally proved very superior. We are well acquainted 

 with the horse known as Pilgrim Morgan, sired by Dubois Morgan, owned 

 by V. Adams, Esq., of Milton, Vt. The stock of Pilgrim Morgan has proved 

 excellent, and many of his colts have sold for high prices ".
