Mr. Samuel Tobin, then of Hartford, Me., bought him 

 in the fall of 1856, and he was always called the Young 

 Tobin to distinguish him from another stallion owned by 

 Mr. Tobin at the same time, and called the Tobin horse. 



He was kept for service in Canton and vicinity until 

 seven years old, and then sold to Farrar & Morrill, of 

 Buckfleld. He stood one or two seasons in Buckfield, 

 and was then taken to Massachusetts. "When his stock 

 came into use,, they were thought so well of that Mr. 

 O. T. Bosworth, of Canton, a gentleman who always took 

 a great interest in horse matters, went to Massachusetts, 

 and spent some time in trying to find him, but was una- 

 ble to learn anything concerning his subsequent history.
