.. Foc-The pedigree of this horse
cannot be obtained. lie was fine
chestnut horse, and was always called
IA Morgan. Passed through several
hands to Daniel Market, Freeport. H..
and was taken by him to Texas in 1873.
| will now give you some informa-
ton about horse that, think, as did
of Black Hawk in my last letter, that he
ought to be in the Morgan Register
This horse is
French WorYan, better known as Old
Eral hn "a,
the Boorey Horse, he by the Glinn
Horse, son of Old Tom Ga bay horse that
was quite good stopper for large
horse. He was owned for years by 5.
j. Davis of Davis, H., and left good
stock, some of which is quite speedy, but
Mr.. Davis has long been dead and can
not get his breedng). French Morgan :
dam was bay mare got by the Fetter-
hoii Horse, he by Blodgett's Black
Hawk, son of Hills Black Hawk: I'd
dam unknown. He is the sire of a fine
lot of roadsters, all of which are nearly
the same size and weight, and when a
horseman is asked, "What stock do YOU
think this horse or mare is:' he says,
directly, sit is IA Morgan" French
Morgan was rather IA small horse with
black name and tail. | should say he
was rather under size; weight, about
1000 lbs; was good traveller, as well
as are his colts, some of which are quite
speedy. | think from his name being
French Morgan that there was French
blood in Old Tom, his great-grandsire.
He was bred and owned by A. Marshi-
no, Rdott, H., and was stood in that
section of the country tor several years.
