54 BREEDING AND REARING OF 



about 1840. He proved quite an accession to Maury 

 and adjoining counties. 



Dr. Boyd also owned a fine jack, called Philip — I 

 think by Mammoth. 



The late Benjamin Harlan also owned a fine jack, 

 called Harlan's Mammoth. He made considerable 

 reputation. 



The late J. J. Williamson, of Marshall County, 

 Tennessee, was an early and successful breeder of 

 jacks and jennets. He paid $500 at a very early day 

 for a jennet called Matilda. She was sired by Maringo 

 Mammoth, and was the dam of several remarkably 

 fine jennet jacks, among others being Black Prince, 

 sire of J. D. Reed's Longfellow, for which he paid 

 $2,250. Longfellow was a fine breeder and a success- 

 ful premium winner. His dam was also by Maringo 

 Mammoth. 



The late Thos. Dean, of Bedford County, Tennessee, 

 was perhaps the earliest breeder of that county. He 

 owned the distinguished jack, Black-and-All-Black, 

 which sired Goliath, owned by Rev. T. B. Marks, and 

 was sold to a company in Alabama for $1,600. This 

 was regarded as a large price in that day for a native 

 jack. Rev. T. B. Marks is and has been regarded as 

 one of the very best stock breeders in Middle Ten- 

 nessee. 



Messrs. Steel & Bro., Esquire Williams, Dr. Thomas 

 Lipscomb, Samuel Wood, J. D. Hutton, Cotner, and 

 others, of Bedford County, were all interprising jack 

 and jennet breeders. 



Messrs. Goodrum, Chairs & Bellanfant owned the 

 jennet jack, Lord of the Isle. He was very large, and 

 was sired by Knight Errant (imported).
