the county of Durham, England. These were carefully hred, and many 
of their descendants are now scattered throughout several States. About 
the same year Mr. Samuel Williams, then a merchant in London, but a 
native of Massachusetts, sent out a bull — “Young Denton” — and some 
cows of the same and later importations, and their descendants are still 
numerous among well bred Short Horns of the present day. 
The same year, Mr. Gorham Parsons, of Brighton, Massachusetts, 
imported a Short Horn bull — “Fortunatus” — bred by Geo. Faulkner, 
of North Allerton, Yorkshire, England. Ho was used considerably on 
the native cows of his State, but we have never traced any thorough-bred 
pedigrees to him. 
In 1820, Mr. Theodore Lyman, of Boston, Massachusetts, imported a 
bull, which he sold to Israel Thorndike, of that city, and he sent him to 
his farm in Maine. Of his produce we hear nothing. 
About the year 1820, and during a few years succeeding, several 
spirited gentlemen of Boston, and its neighborhood, imported a number 
of cows and bulls from some of the best herds in England. They were 
Messrs. Derby, Williams, Lee, Prince, Monson, and perhaps others. 
These were all fine cattle, and of approved blood in the English Short- 
Horn districts. Their descendants arc still numerous in New England, 
and some other States. 
About the year 1823, the late Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, of the British 
navy, a native of Massachusetts, sent out a cow — “Anabella” — and a 
bull — “Admiral” — as a gift to the Massachusetts Agricultural Society. 
The} 1 ' were good animals, and bred with the other Massachusetts impor- 
tations. 
Shortly previous to 1821, the late John S. Skinner, of Baltimore, 
Maryland, imported for Governor Lloyd, of that State, a bull — “Cham- 
pion” — and two heifers — “White Bose” and “Shepherdess” — from the 
herd of Mr. Champion, a noted English breeder. From these, several 
good animals descended, some or which arc now known. 
In 1823, Mr. Skinner also imported for the late Gen. Stephen Van 
Rensslfcr, of Albany, New York, a bull — “Washington” — and two 
heifers — “Conquest” and “Pansey” — from the same herd of Mr. 
Champion. Conquest did not breed ; Pansey was a successful breeder, 
and many of her descendants are now scattered over the country. 
During the years 1822 to 1830, the late Mr. Charles Henry Hall, of 
New York, imported several Short-Horn bulls and cows, from some of 
the best English herds. Several of these he sold to persons in the neighbor- 
hood of that city, soon after they arrived, and others he sent to his farm 
in Rcnssclrer county, near Albany, and there bred them. Their descend* 
ants are now scattered through several good herds.
