Mountain Morgan to bring that horse to Sutton, on guaranteeing him four 

 mares at $8 each. One of the mares which they bred was this daughter of 

 Howard Morgan, and on June 22, 1843, she foaled a colt that was christened 

 Massachusetts Morgan, which grew to be one of the finest-styled and fastest 

 horses of his day, weighing 1000 pounds. He, like his sire, was a noted 

 parade horse, always being in great demand at musters. He was of a beauti- 

 ful chestnut color and a typical Morgan in build. His disposition was perfect. 

 He was used on the plow before cattle and as a horse for general farm work, 

 and at the same time for stud service. As a sire he was a success. His 

 colts were highly valued as driving animals, one of them selling for $1625 in 

 1855. His best colt, known as Jim, trotted the half-mile track in Worcester, 

 when 20 years old, in 2 138, and drew his owner from Worcester to Sutton, 

 seven miles, in 20 minutes. He lived to be 28 years old. Another of his 

 colts was Worcester Boy, a horse which showed wonderful speed and 

 won a number of races. Besides these three, he sired many others 

 which were very speedy and very fine roadsters. The Messrs. Wheelock 

 sold him in 1853 to the late James Gates of Worcester, Mass., which was be- 

 fore his star as a sire had commenced to shine. While in the hands of Mr. 

 Gates he was shown at many horse fairs, doing his mile in three minutes 

 and winning many prizes. He probably did more for the horse stock of 

 Worcester county than any horse that ever stood here. He died soon after 

 Mr. Gates disposed of him".
