PEDIGREE. J. R. 11. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, I certifies as follows :— * Tom Tunstall was foaled j mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High- | land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; 1 tne sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolet. Tom { Tunstall was sired by o d Pacific, and he by old j Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended fiomas good a stock as any horse in the United States.— i lie was a race horse of the first order, but 1 lear j will never be able to make a first rate race again, j owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year ( old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har- | DY Dryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the darn of Tom Tunstall.”, The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Ma/y c ombined as many or more rich crosses of thorouga breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.— ft he was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, (son of O’Kellev’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of’the last century;) great grand-dam i oy the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great grcal-great-gi and-dam by imported Fcarnaught; great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s aid Mark Anthony outof a mare by imported Mou key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie.
