Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, ! certifies as follows : —‘ Tom 'i unstall was foaled I mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her darn a full-blooded Archie mare; the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom ! Tunslali was sired by old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States.— He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year old, in traming, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Cbyer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” 'i he same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus“ Highland Maiy combined'as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any m'aic ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of f imported Citizen ; her dam Koscy Carey by Sir [ Archie ; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, ! («on of O’Kelle.’ ’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-dam 1 by the imported horse Wranglengreat-gieat-grand j dam U’Possum by imported Shark; greal-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught; great-gicat-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s • old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou , key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary l to trace beyond Sir Archie.
