PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows —“ Tom Tun stall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie marc;
tne sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolel. Tom
Tunstall was sired by oi l 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 fear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, iu training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryf.k, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryev certifies thus : —“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Arcjiie ; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlcmaine,
, (son of O’Kellev’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
, importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by 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
great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
great-gicat-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony outof a mare by imported Moa
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
i will require a purer or bettor attested pedegree!—
