gray mare. Some claim that TINS Dlack
mare was the mare that brought Ethan
Aliens dam. Could it be possible that
you are mistaken and that this was soY
A. The black mare was not the mother
OF Ethan Aliens dam.
q. Joseph Cushman writes that the
W. II. Balcom's gray mare was the John
Glazier gray mare. and that she was the
dam of Ethan Allen; that Warner Cook
purchased the W. III. Balloon mare OF Ira
Wallace of Northwest Bay, in Hague.
W. ii. Balloon writes that he let Ira wal
lace have this gray mare. Did Warner
Cook ever own this gray mare after W.
ii. Balloon let her go? A. w. Cook bought
the mother of Ethan Allen of Geo. John
son, between 1885 and 40.
O. If not. please tell what became of
this W. ii. Balcom gray mare. \. do
not know what became of her.
Q. State, if you can, the year that
Ethan Aliens dam was foaled; also the
year Rising let her go. Could you tell
by your age or some circumstance so as
to give the year? 1t is quite important
to get the dates, and wish you would
give them as near as you can. \. Ethan
Aliens dam was foaled 1926 or 1890.
Q. Would be glad to know how you
know that Rising raised the dam of Ethan
Allen, and that she was by his two-year-
old gray colt. Did YOU know it your
self, or did Mr.. Rising tell you or any
other person, and if so, who was it? A..
That was the report at the time she was
foaled.
Q. They write that you used to work
for the Cooks when they owned the dam
of Ethan. Did you then tell them that
Rising raised her? A. did work there.
q. Wish to know for certainty what
became of the W. II. Balloon gray mare.
Please state who owned her at the time
of her death, and what year did she die ?
\. | do not know anything about that
mare, you have things mixed up so badly.
q. Joseph Cushman states that Abel
and Zeno Rising raised the John Glazier
mare that he claims was the dam of Eth
an Allen. A. He didn't raise her. make
some allowance for Cushman's age.
have left blank spaces for your an
, swers, and also inclose a sheet for any

but am very anxious to get at the exact

JUSTIN BUGBEE.
