DESCENDANTS OF WOODBURY MORGAN 687 



dam the Fassett mare (dam of Bludsoe and Young Darkey), bay, about 16 

 hands, foaled about 1850, bred by Warren Potter, Clarendon, Vt., got by 

 Andrus' Hamiltonian, son of Judson's Hamiltonian ; 2d dam bay, traded for, 

 when two, by Hannibal Woodruff, Rutland, Vt., of Caleb Hall, Clarendon 

 Falls, Vt., breeding unknown. Hannibal Woodruff states that, about 1840, 

 Caleb Hall had a dozen colts or so on a meadow -and that he traded an old 

 mare even with Hall for a bay filly, two years old, of good proportions, and 

 that this filly was the dam of the Fassett mare. He made no inquiries what- 

 ever in regard to her origin. Mr. Hall is dead, and although various sug- 

 gestions have been made as to the blood of the filly, we are unable to find 

 that she was ever traced. The Ed. Brown Horse was owned by Edwin Brown, 

 formerly of Tinmouth, now of Middletown Springs,Vt. He was a close-built, 

 rather stylish horse and had very good action.
