 15^ hands high, and weighs ahout 1050 pounds, foaled in 

 1855, bred by Mr. Bradford, Barre, Vermont, got by Per- 

 kins' Young Morrill, dam, by the HucMns horse, by 

 Royal Morgan, he by Sherman, by Justin Morgan. Sold, 

 when about three years old, to Mr. Town, who was, we 

 believe, a former owner of Toung Morrill, and after- 

 wards to Mr. Varill, Laconia, N. H., and D. H. 

 Blanchard, Boston. In 1862 he was brought to^Maine, 

 by Asher Savage, of Waterville, and was at that time a 

 pacer. After being sold several times for about $100, he 

 was brought to Winthrop, in January, 1863, and in the 

 following August he was purchased by Jackson & 

 Rounds. 



In "Winthrop he was first called Winthrop Boy, and 

 finally Winthrop Morrill. At Mr. Chas. G. Jackson's 

 death, his interest passed into his son's hands, and he re- 

 mained with J. F. Jackson, until the fall of 1871, when 

 he was sold to T. B. Williams, of Boston, it is said for 

 $8,250. As a sire of trotters he ranks with the best that 

 ever stood in Maine. He is the sire of Glengary, Fleet- 

 wood, Baby Boy, Ben Morrill, Sam Curtis, Modoc, Sweet 

 Briar, and many other fast ones.
