130 A HISTORY OP THE PEECHERON HORSE 



gray. In the spring of 1866 Charles Fullington, who 

 by that time had acquired her, sent her to the 

 Thomas Jones farm at Pleasant Valley to be bred to 

 Old Bill. Prior to that year she had produced four 

 foals by the Baker Horse 21, those of 1858 and 1859 

 dying young and those of 1860 and 1862 surviving 

 and being named respectively Doll 541 and White 

 Rose 613. In 1866 the late Thomas Jones bought 

 old Doll 540 and the filly at her side by the Baker 

 Horse 21, later named Eose 604. The price for the 

 pair was $400. In 1867 she foaled the filly Eugenia

 Wood for $1,000. In 1869 old Doll produced the 

 filly Josephine 1502 by the big horse Conqueror 109, 

 a five-year-old gray of great scale imported in 1867 

 by Wallace, Watkins & Co., Marion, 0.

 partnership, Gill retaining the old mare and Wood 

 the filly Eugenia, which afterwards produced several 

 foals for him. In 1870, again to the cover of Con- 

 queror, old Doll produced the stallion Thompson 

 461, probably the heaviest French colt bred in the 

 United States up to that date, but phenomenally 

 crooked in his hind legs. Despite that fact he is 

 said to have proved a fairly successful sire. He 

 and Josephine, both by Conqueror 109, were consid- 

 erably larger than the others of old Doll's progeny, 

 both exceeding a ton in weight. Poor old Doll did 

 much for her various owners and for the breed at 

 large, but Gill, who was a dour and crabbed citizen
