PEDIGREE.
J. R. 11. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows : — 4 Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
tne sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom
Tunstall was sired by o d 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 iear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any mate ever raised in Tennessee^—
She 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’Kelle; ’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-giand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
great-great-gveat-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
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
wi 1 require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
