 Vermont by F. J. Nodine, Brooklyn, N. Y., untraced. The statement heretofore made that 

 this mare was by Harris' Hamiltonian is entirely without foundation. Mr. Nodine knows 

 nothing of her origin, but from her description it is very certain she was of Morgan ex- 

 traction. Harrison Mills writes of this dam: "She was 15% hands, fine shape, long 

 clean neck, nice clean head, showed good breeding, and was the gamiest and best roadster 

 I ever drove, and that is saying a good deal. I know nothing of her breeding whatever ".

 of Coldwater; Phelps sold her to E. A. Lytle, a livery-stable-keeper at Coldwater, who 

 sold her, about 1853, to Gershom Bulkley, now of Monroe, Mich.; Mr. Bulkley kept her 

 about a year and sold her to Elliot Crippen of Coldwater, who sold her to C. H. Knowlton, 

 said to be by a Canadian horse; 2cl dam black, said to be Morgan. P. P. Wright, Gen. 

 Supt. of Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Co., and now of Cleveland, O., writes 

 of Black Sal : " She was rather fine-looking, and resembled the family of horses which 

 descended from Hill's old Vermont Black Hawk so closely that it was supposed she must 

 have had a dash of that blood in her make-up. Her muscles were remarkably developed, 

 her quarters were very heavy, and her back and loins very strong; her endurance was also 

 remarkable, and she took naturally to trotting from the first ". M. A. Dougherty, born 

 1824, son of Thomas Dougherty, writes : " Father moved from Monroe county, N. Y., 1835, 

 to Coldwater, Mich. About 1843 he purchased a pair of dark bay Morgan mares, Bettie 

 and Pop, of Win. Pruder, and kept both of them till they died of old age in the 6o's.
