The Mule

Entries in the American Stud Book for this tail female line consistently end in "imported Spanish Mare". Of the known 18th century imported Spanish mares, only The Mule* is possible by dates as the taproot mare of this family. She was not entered in the stud book except in the context of Telemachus' 4th dam. Fairfax Harrison [E1:237] draws on an 1810 stud bill to estimate her date of importation as 1770c, and refers to George B Whiting's comments (ATR 2:255, re his horse Lonsdale) in identifying her owner, Col Robert Alexander, as one of the Alexanders of southside (Mecklenburg) Virginia. Harrison further notes the lack of evidence as to whether The Mule* came from Spain or the West Indies, but concludes from remarks in the stud bill that she was "...of pure Andalusian blood and not, like so many Southside mares of her time, a 'chickasaw'."

Hadley's Arab

Hadley's Arab has not been identified.

Pacolet Mare

The earliest mare in this line to have her own entry in the American Stud Book was the Pacolet Mare, bred and owned by Jesse Cage of Tennessee.

Stockholder Mare

The Stockholder Mare's year foaled is given as 1833 [AmSB 2:333], and is almost certainly inaccurate since she foaled The Poney, whose age can be confirmed from racing records, in 1834.
