" TROUBLE " Traced To Civil War Days

A recent letter inquired about the background of Trouble — listed in Vol . I of the Breeders ’ Assn . Stud Registry as follows :
“ TROUBLE 370306 , property of Beech Sc Endsley , Belfast , Term , ( in about 1939 ). Sorrel horse ; both hind socks , star , snip ; foaled May 20 , 1936 ; bred by S . A . Peterson , Farmington , Tenn . SIRE , Last Chance 350034 . DAM , Nellie Essay 370016 .”
Last Chance is widely known as being bred by A . M . Dement , Wartrace , Tenn . This stallion was by Hunter ’ s Allen F-10 out of Merry Legs F-4 .
Nellie Essay ’ s lineage is less understood . She is also listed in Vol . I as follows :
" NELLIE ESSAY , property of S . A . Peterson , Farmington , Tenn . Sorrel mare ; star ; foaled May 9 , 1920 ; bred by Sam Lentz . SIRE , Red Hal ; Red Hal ’ s dam by Hal Sumner , III , by Hal Sumner F-7 ; DAM , Sadie B , by Sims ’ Wilkes F-37 .
Hal Sumner was a great , great grandson of the great Tom Hal F-20 . He was a roan horse , sired by Sumner Hal , by Steel ’ s Priam , by Toggins Hal , by Tom Hal F-20 . Sumner Hal ’ s dam was a Priam mare , by Priam ( 254 A . T . R .), by Flying Cloud ( 134 A . T . R .)
The dam of Hal Sumner was Sunshine , by Pat Malone F-27 . This latter foundation stallion was sired by Mohawk , by Clardy ’ s Copperbotlom . Pat Malone ' s dam was Betsy Baker , by Algerine , by a Whip horse ; 2d dam by Sugg ’ s Stump , by Stump The Dealer ; 3rd dam Featherstone ’ s Old Roan . That goes back to the Civil War period .
From Washington , New Jersey
Learned about a brand new Washington from Wm . C . Cullen , Jr ., of Route 1 , Washington , N . J . He wrote for a sample Voice , Mary Frances mailed him one copy . But Bill writes back in a hurry to say thanks and he adds : “ It reads good and I think the same warrants a subscription for which I am enclosing my check , four dollars for the subscription and five dollars for the training book .” Seems that our sample plan is doubly good . As long as we “ read good ” to enough people we will have it made . Many thanks for Friend Cullen . BAG .
