Rockingham pedigrees

Pedigrees from WWM/R193 (Sheffield Archives, 52 Shoreham Street, Sheffield S1 4SP, England)

Lord Rockingham's first appearance on the turf dates from 1752 when he started 4 horses: (1) a bay filly by Cade, her dam by the Lonsdale Arabian; (2) Scampton Cade, also got by Cade; (3) Silver Leg, by the Earl of Portmore's Cartouch, his dam by Old Cartouch; and (4) Yorkshire Jack, got by Jack come Tickle me. After that he continued to race horses, mostly of his own breeding every year, until his death in 1782.

The collection of pedigrees in WWM/R193 suggests that he made a considerable effort to obtain and keep the pedigrees of the horses he purchased. Please see the transcription page for the original wording.

Note that "GSB", not otherwise qualified, refers to volume 1, 5th ed, 1891.




1.	Badger Mare	R193/2

Grey Mare by Badger (Partner out of a Woodcock mare) - Almanzor (Son of Darley's Arabian) - full sister to Bay Bolton and Lamprey

Not in GSB, although her dam (or a sister) is, see p 22: ALMANZOR MARE (sister to Spinner), Bred by Mr OSBALDESTON, her dam a full sister to Bay Bolton, by Grey Hautboy; the sister to Spinner is noted as dam of 3 foals by Partner (sire of Badger) for Mr Osbaldeston. Also see R193/37


2.	Whitenose Colt	R193/3

Bay Colt by Whitenose, out of Steady, an unbroke gr m, by Steady (Son of Devonshire Childers out of a Grantham mare): the Steady mare came from Miss Egerton

It does not appear that this colt ever started for Lord Rockingham Not in GSB, but see p 204, for probable sister: Lord Portmore's 1754 gr f by Whitenose, out of STEADY MARE, Bred by Lord PORTMORE, in 1746, her dam by Crab, out of the (Egerton) Nanny, by the Pigot Turk.


3.	Whitenose Colt	R193/3 R193/36?

Brown Colt by Whitenose, out of a fleabitten gr m by Lord Portmore's Crab - a light grey natural Barb mare given to Lord Portmore by the Duke of Marlborough and he had her near 20 years ago from the Earl of Harrington (R193/3) by Whitenose, out of a daughter of Crab (R193/36)

Not in GSB, but probably a descendant of the Natural Barb Mare that was grandam of Lord Portmore's Tiney (1756 gr c) and dam of the MARLBOROUGH MARE (dam of Warwickshire Wag); see GSB p 123.


4.	Oroonoko Colt, half brother to Brilliant Chesnut Colt, [foaled 1753]	14 Nov 1754 (Portmore, London) 2 Nov 1754, list sold by Lord Portmore to Lord Rockingham	R193/3 R193/35 R193/36

Chestnut Colt by Oroonoko - Godolphin Arabian - Coke's dun m by the Bald galloway - Akaster Turk (sire of Chanter); this colt's dam also dam of Mr Crofts' Brilliant, 1754 (R193/3) by Oroonoko; dam out of the late Ed Cokes Dun mare, called Silverlocks, by the Bald Galloway; out of a daughter of the Akaster Turk (R193/35) by Oroonoko, out of the Dun Godolphin Arabian Mare (dam of Crofts Brilliant) (R193/36)

This colt may have raced as a 5 year old in August 1758 as Osmar (his pedigree given as got by Oroonoko) when he ran 4th of 5 starters in the Great Sweepstakes of 500gs at York. In October 1758, Lord Rockinghams' Brilliant, won the Noblemens Subscription of 300gs for 5 year olds. He was identified in the matches to come in both Pond and Heber as by Oroonoko, out of the dam of Brilliant. In October 1759, Lord Rockingham's chesnut horse, Young Brilliant, got by Oroonoko lost a match for 300gs at Newmarket to Mr Shaftoe's Alcides; Lord Rockingham's Young Brilliant started twice more in 1760 without winning. In GSB, p 93, a colt of the same age and breeding is identified as the Duke of Northumberland's. In Pond 1756 there is a list of the horses entered, "then rising 6 year olds" in a Sweepstakes Match for 3000gs at Newmarket Easter Week of 1759; this list includes "The Right Hon the Earl of Northumberland's Colt, got by Oroonoko, out of Brilliant's Dam." Heber 1756 has the same list and describes the entrants as "now 3 years old". It is not known if there was some arrangement by which Lord Northumberland could engage Lord Rockingham's colt in such a match; in any case, the colt entered by Lord Northumberland did not start. GSB, p 183: SILVERLOCKS, Bred by Mr AYSCOUGH, in 1725, got by the Bald Galloway - Akaster Turk - Leedes - Spanker; she is also shown on p 1 as produce of the AKASTER TURK MARE (sister to Chaunter) and dam of Roxana. The pedigree in GSB follows Cheny (see his Racing Calendars for 1745 & 1746) where the pedigree of Silver-locks was given as got by the Bald Galloway, her dam by the Akaster Turk (Sire of Chanter), her grand dam by Leeds, her great grand dam by Spanker; however, Cheny did not go so far as to say that Silverlocks and Roxana were sisters. As noted in R193/35 some 10 years later, there appears to have been doubt that the pedigree of Silverlocks extended beyond her dam by the Akaster Turk. Silver Locks was a broodmare in Lord Godolphin's Stud (see C M Prior, The Royal Studs of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, 1935). Her foals recorded there were: 1734, a bay colt by Whitefoot - given to Rd Boys in 1738 1735, a bay colt by Whitefoot - Mr Edward Salter had this Colt in 1739 1737, a bay filly by Whitefoot - sold to Mr Poole in 1740 1738, a dun filly by the [Godolphin] Arabian - sold to Mr Huske in 1743 and dam to Mr Crofts Dun Colt yt won Ipswich King's Plate, and Huntington 4 year old, and Newmarket 4 year old Plates in 1745 [should be 1754], and was called Brilliant, by Crab 1739, a dun filly by the Arabian - put into ye Stud, and sold to Mr Popham ye 18th Decr, 1748 in foale by Dormouse Brother [she had 3 foals before being sold: 1745 b c by Hobgoblin, 1747 b c by Snip, 1748 b f by Snip] 1740, a dun colt, by Saucebox - sold to James Larkin in 1744 1741, a dun filly by the Arabian - sold to James Larkin in 1744 1742, a dun colt call'd Buffcoat - he was taken bad with ye wind Collick ye 13th August, 1754, and dyed ye 14th, 20 Minutes before Elleven o'Clock There is no pedigree given for Silverlocks in Lord Godolphin's records, but the pedigree of her daughter the Dun Mare was given as "got by my Lord's Arabian, her dam, by ye Bald galloway, her grandam by ye Acaster Turk, & out of a mare that Sr Willm Lowther vallued much." Lord Godolphin's stud-book had been kept originally by or for Mr Edward Coke, the records passing to Lord Godolphin when the horses did. The pedigree given for Roxana there is "got By ye Bald galloway, Her dam by Ld Carlisle's white Turk. Her gr dam was Sir Willm Strickland's Old Blunder mare." If Roxana and Silverlocks were indeed, full sisters, it seems odd that there is no comment to that effect.


5.	Selima Bay Mare, [foaled 1750]	Certificate & Pedigree from W Osbaldeston, dated 9 Aug 1755	R193/4 R193/37

Bay Mare by Bajazet; dam by Bloody Buttocks; grandam by Almanzor; g grandam (own sister to Bay Bolton and Lamprey) by Sir William Strickland's Hautboy; g g grandam by Makeless; g g g grandam (dam of Ocklam Merlin, and grandam to [Terror]) by Brimmer; g g g g grandam by Diamond; g g g g g grandam full sister to Old Merlin's dam

Not in GSB, although her grandam (or a sister) is, see p 22: ALMANZOR MARE (sister to Spinner), Bred by Mr OSBALDESTON, her dam a full sister to Bay Bolton, by Grey Hautboy.
and p 10: Mr Osbaldeston's, of Hunmanby, b f by Almanzor, out of GREY HAUTBOY MARE (sister to Bay Bolton), Bred by Sir M PIERSON, her dam by Makeless - Brimmer - Diamond - sister to Old Merlin, by Bustler.

Also NOTE:
Grey Hautboy was evidently also known as Sir Wm Strickland's Hautboy.
Identification of Ocklam [Acklem] Merlin's dam as the same as Terror's grandam, a mare by Brimmer - Diamond - full sister to Old Merlin's Dam. Based on the owners' names it seems likely that the Terror referred to was Sir W Strickland's by the Akaster Turk out of Mr Brewster's, formerly Sir M Pierson's "famous" (OLD) HAUTBOY MARE, dam also of Almanzor, Terror and Champion (GSB, p 11)

6.	Old Worlock	R193/6

Old Worlock got by the Bald Galloway / Mr Metcalf

This appears to be related to (perhaps a corrupted version) of the pedigree in GSB see p 219: WARLOCK GALLOWAY, Got by Snake, out of Old Lady (sister to the Carlisle Gelding), by the Bald Galloway. and p 15: OLD LADY (sister to The Carlisle Gelding), Bred by Lord CARLISLE, got by the Bald Galloway, her dam, The Wharton Mare, by the Carlisle Turk - Byerly Turk.




7.	Fair Star Bay Mare [foaled 1733]	Pedigree from Byram, 23 Oct 1751; mare covered in 1751 by old Starling	R193/7

Bay Mare by Lord Lonsdale's Bay Arabian - Bay Bolton - Darley Arabian - Byerley Turk - Taffolet Barb - Place's white Arabian - a natural Barb mare

GSB, p32: Fair Star, by The Lonsdale Bay Arabian, out of BAY BOLTON MARE (sister to Bonny Lass), Bred by Sir W RAMSDEN, her dam by Darley's Arabian - Byerly Turk - Taffolet Barb - Place's White Turk - Natural Barb Mare. Fair Star produced for Lord Rockingham, a Colt by Cade (matched 1757, October Meeting, Newmarket)




8.	Sophy Bay Filly [foaled 1748]	Pedigree from Byram, 23 Oct 1751	R193/7

Bay Filly by Cade, out of a full sister to Fair Star

Not in GSB Sophy, produced for Lord Rockingham a chestnut colt by Tartar, about 1758, and as many as 3 brown colts by Sampson, engaged in various matches for Lord Rockingham, 1770-1773. Given the span of years she belonged to Lord Rockingham, this list is likely to be incomplete.




9.	Young Greyhound Mare	"about 15 years old"	R193/8

Mare by young Greyhound, out of Doll, by Ld Darcy's Woodcock; her dam the Moonah Mare, by a Barb in that country (brought over in the same manner as the Royal African her brother; both were foaled at Hampton Court in the King's Stud)

GSB, p9: see under DOLL, this is probably the dam of Comet and Skewcap.




10.	Babram Filly Grey Filly [foaled 1752]	Agreement to hire to Lord Rockingham, dated at Weybridge [Lord Portmore] 30 Oct 1754	R193/10

Grey Filly by Babram - (Lord Portmore's) Spinner - (Lord Portmore's) Old Crab - Darley Arabian mare, owned by the late Earl of Essex and purchased from Esqr Draper, out of Drapers [Tituen] bred by Mr Thompson of Marston, out of Old Milkey, bred by old Mr Leeds; Spinner, by Old Almanzor, and out of a full sister to Bay Bolton and Lamprey

Not in GSB; see next.




11.	Whitenose Filly Grey Filly [foaled 1752]	Weybridge, 30 Oct 1754	R193/10

Grey Filly by Whitenose, out of the above daughter of Spinner

From the above document, it appears that a Spinner mare, probably belonging to Lord Portmore was dam of 1752 gr f by Babram 1754 gr f by Whitenose The pedigree of the Whitenose filly appears to be almost the same as that for Miss Stamford (1754) Whitenose filly, out of mare by Spinner - Old Crab - Darley's Arabian - [Tituen], bred by Mr Thompson of Marston - Old Milkey Miss Stamford* by Whitenose, dam by Spinner - Crab - Darley's Arabian - Faustina, a daughter of Mr Thompson's Old Milkey (Introduction to a General Stud-Book, 1791, p 87; General Stud-Book, 1793, p 166) * Pick says foaled "about the year 1754" (Turf Register, ii, 1805, p 260) In addition, Pick's note about this Faustina (p 432) echoes the language of the document in Lord Rockingham's collection: FAUSTINA, (great great grandam of Miss Stamford) was bred by Mr THOMPSON, of Marston, near York, and out of a mare called Old Milkey, who was a noted good runner.--Miss Stamford was a GREY mare,and not a chesnut, as stated in page 260 of this volume. OLD MILKEY was bred by Mr LEEDES, of North-Milford, Yorkshire, and sold, when young, to Mr THOMPSON. In the most recent edition of volume 1 of GSB (1891), the pedigree of Miss Stamford ends with Faustina. However, the entry for Mr Jenison's Faustina (p 85) implies that it is this Faustina who is ancestress of Miss Stamford, since her produce includes a f by the Darley Arabian (Mr Jennison's of Walworth) which "bred a f to Crab, which was the dam of a f by Spinner." FAUSTINA, Bred by Mr CURWEN, in 1725, got by Hartley's Blind Horse, her dam by Blossom (son of the Curwen Bay Barb) - Pulleine's Arabian - Vintner Mare. Of interest is that in the edition of the Newcastle Courant for July 21-23, 1712, the list of the Mares to run for the Queen's Plate at Hambleton included 2 mares called Milkey - Sir William St Quintin's bay mare, and Sir Ralph Milbank's grey mare.




12.	Badger Colt	from [Mitch], Wakefield, 22 Apr 1752; labelled "Hitch's Mare"	R193/11

Colt by Badger, out of a Mare got by Vavasour's Black Tom; grandam by Tifter, out of a mare descended from Lord Fairfax's Morocco Arabian

Not in GSB. The Badger Colt is not known to have been raced by Lord Rockingham, so perhaps did not meet with his approval.




13.	Son of Ruffler Mare	from [Mitch], Wakefield, 22 Apr 1752; labelled "Hitch's Mare"	R193/11

Mare by a Son of Ruffler, out of the dam of the above colt; in foal to Regulus

Not in GSB In 1756, Lord Rockingham raced a grey filly by Regulus whose dam was not noted; perhaps her dam was this mare by a Son of Ruffler.




14.	Roan Gelding	from H. Witham; labelled "Huntress / The Roan Gelding's full sister"	R193/16

Gelding by a Country Stallion known as Robert Rowley's Roan Horse, out of a mare belonging to Mr Wilson; she had a good deal of blood

Probably not considered Thoroughbred; not in GSB.




15.	Bay Mare 8 years old	from H. Witham; labelled "Huntress / The Roan Gelding's full sister"	R193/16

Mare by the same Robert Rowley's Roan Horse, out of the own sister to the dam of Lord Rockingham's gelding

Probably not considered Thoroughbred; not in GSB. In April 1754, "the Marquiss of Rockingham's Bay Filly, got by a foreign Horse of his Lordships, and out of a Hunting Mare" forfeited a Match against the Marquiss of Hartington's Bay Colt, full Brother to Hector (Heber 1753; Pond 1752, & 1753). Perhaps her dam was the mare called "Huntress."




16.	Another Mare	from H. Witham; labelled "Huntress / The Roan Gelding's full sister"	R193/16

Mare by a Coach Horse, out of the dam of the Roan Gelding

Probably not considered Thoroughbred; not in GSB.




17.	Blaze	Printed advertisement dated 1 Apr 1749, Beverley	R193/18

Blaze, bred by Mr Panton and got by the Devonshire Childers, out of the Confederate Filly, by Grantham; her dam by the late Duke of Rutland's black Barb, out of a mare called Bright's Roan, bred by Mr Leedes, and got by his Turk, which got Bay Leeds; her dam by Willoughby; grandam by Dodsworth, out of the famous running Roan Mare of Sir Christopher Wivill's

GSB, p 62: Mr Panton's Blaze (1733 b c) by Childers, out of CONFEDERATE FILLY, Got by Grey Grantham (son of Brownlow Turk) - Duke of Rutland's Black Barb - Bright's Roan, bred by Mr Leedes and said to be got by the Arabian, sire of Leedes. NOTE the extension of the pedigree for Blaze. It is tempting to speculate that Sir Christopher Wivill's "famous running Roan Mare" was an ancestor of the "famous roan mare of Sr Mar: Wyvill's" recorded by Cuthbert Routh as the great grandam of Childers (C M Prior, Early Records of the Thoroughbred Horse, 1924, p28). 2 other pedigrees which mention "Willoughby" are (1) 1748 b c by Regulus - Lord Lonsdale's Bay Arabain - Snake - Duke of Rutland's Grey Turk - Hautboy - Bustler - the Willoughby Barb - a mare brought from Bolton Castle in the Time of the Grand Rebellion (see R193/64) (2) Mr DYER's DIMPLE, bred by Mr LEEDES, and got by his Arabian, (sire of Leedes); his dam, Old Sophonisba, by Spanker; grandam by Dodsworth, out of Lord Willoughby's Barb Mare (W Pick, Turf Register, i, 48).


18.	Regulus Colt Bay Colt [foaled 1755]	from William Thornton, 28 Aug 1759, York	R193/20

Colt by Regulus; dam by Sedbury; grandam by Goliah

Not in GSB; not identified In 1760, Lord Rockingham's bay colt, by Regulus, out of a daughter of Sedbury (see Heber 1759, future matches, for pedigree) forfeited a Match Easter-Week at Newmarket.


19.	Bellina Bay Filly [foaled 1747]	from Gabriel Hanger, Dryffield, 17 Jun 1752 mentions a full sister (by Second) & other fillies out of Mr Hangar's brown mare by Stanyan's Arabian; one by Marksman, & 3 by Whitefoot, sold to Lord Leigh	R193/21 R193/50

Mare by Second, out of a brown mare by Stanyan's Arabian at Hampton Court; Gipsey, bred by Sir Ralph Milbank, and got by King William's Black barb without a Tongue; out of Sir Ralph's black mare bred by Mr Darcy, and got by Makeless, out of one of his best Royal Mares (R193/21) Mare by Second; out of the dam of Lord Leigh's Molly and Diana, bred at Hampton Court, got by Stanyer's Arabian; her dam by the Black tongueless Barb of King William's; g grandam Sir Ralph Milbanke's Gipsy (dam of Hartley's Blind Horse, and Drogheda's Othello), by Makeless. In foal to old Starling (R193/50)

See GSB, p 200 STANYAN'S ARABIAN MARE, Bred by Mr HANGER, her dam, Gipsey, by King William's Barb-without-a-tongue, out of Sir R Milbanke's Makeless Mare, which was the dam of Hartley's Blind Horse. Also see Charming Molly & Diana. Produce of the Stanyan's Arabian Mare, as given by Mr Hanger (see R193/21) differs from the list in GSB: 1740 br f Diana, by Whitefoot ... Lord Leigh 1742 br f Charming Molly, by Whitefoot ... Lord Leigh br f by Whitefoot ... sold from Lord Leigh's Stud to Lord Eglinton, Jan 1749; later Sir James Lowther's 1747 [b] f by Second ... probably Lord Rockingham's Bellina 1748 br f by Second 1749 f by Marksman If the resulting foal mentioned in R193/50 was Pretty Polly, the date of this certificate would have been about 1750 or early 1751; and indicate that Bellina was foaled in 1747. Also NOTE the ambiguous reference which may indicate that Lord Drogheda's Othello (son of Greyhound) was out of Sir Ralph Milbank's Makeless Mare.

Mare by Ld Cullen's Arabian; dam (a chesnut mare) sold to Charles Sedley, said to be a daughter of Partner, and once to have belonged to Lord Weymouth, running in his possession (R193/27) A Bay Mare by the Cullen Arabian; her dam a Brood Mare of Sir Charles Sedley's (her pedigree not ascertained); a fine Colt foal at foot got by the Brother to Tarquin [Lord Rockingham's Godolphin Hunter] and covered again by the same horse (R193/53)

Basheba had a colt by the Godolphin Hunter (named for the 1200gs at Newmarket, Easter Week 1764) (Heber 1763), possibly the same or a brother to the foal mentioned in the sales list (R193/53) (see R193/34a for Godolphin Hunter, a brother to Tarquin) Basheba and her dam are not identified, and probably not in GSB. The only chesnut mare found to have been raced by Lord Viscount Weymouth from the Racing Calendars, was Jenny-come-tye-me in 1735; however, she was the 1729 "Chesnt mare, gott by Childers, and out of Northern Nanny", sold by Cuthbert Routh to Lord Portmore, October 1734; she won the King's Plates at Hambleton in 1734, and Lewes and Winchester in 1735.

31.	Bay Colt, foaled 4 Apr 1747 [Godolphin Hunter]1	Taken from Brown's copy of Sir M: Wyvill's Stud Book	R193/34a R193/49

Pedigree of the Spectacle Mare - dam of Tarquin - Hill Forsters now Sr Ralph Gores Stallion and also dam of my Godolphin Hunter The Spectacle Mare - was got by ye Scarborough Colt - her dam by the Pelham Tifter (Sire also of ye Garnet Mare) - her G: dam (the Snake Mare) was got by Old Tifter, her gt: G: dam by Snake Gt: Gt: G: dam by Pooley's Diamond, her gt: gt: gt: g: dam by Hautboy, her Gt: Gt: Gt: Gt: G: dam by Bustler, her Gt: Gt: Gt: Gt: Gt: G: dam by Old Woodcock out of one of Sr Jonathan Jenning's Mares; which Mare was of the Royal Kind at Sedbury. (R193/34a) Tifter was bred by Sir ... Parsons and got by the Thoulouse Barb (sire of Bagpipe and the Panton Molly's dam); Tifter's dam (according to Lord Godolphin) a sister in blood to Leeds; Tifter's dam (according to Mr Crofts) got by Counsellor; grandam by Brimmer; g grandam by Dickey Pearson (Son of Old Dodsworth); g g grandam a Burton Barb Mare The Scarborough Mare got by Makeless; her dam (a mare of Sir Marmaduke Wyvill's father's called Thisbe) by Brimmer Belgrade the 2d got by the Belgrade Turk; his dam by Bay Bolton, [out of the Scarborough Mare] Makeless was got by General Oglethorpe's Arabian; dam by Lord D'Arcy's Yellow Turk; out of a natural Barb Mare which Sir Jno Lawson (a Sea Admiral) bought from Barbary and gave to King Charles, who gave her to Lord d'Arcy (R193/49)

Sir Marmaduke Wyvill had 3 mares which appear in the records of Lord Godolphin's Stud as reproduced in C M Prior's The Royal Studs of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, 1935. Two were identified as Volunteer's Sister, and Bashaw's Sister. The third mare is listed only as Sir M Wyvill's Mare. She had the following produce in the Godolphin Stud. 1745: April ye 24th. A Bay Colt Fole, no white, by the [Godolphin] Arabian -- Sold to Mr Greevill in Nov: 1748, called Swiftsure2 1746: April ye 10th. A Bay Colt Foale, by the Arabian -- This Colt's Dam was sent to Sir M: Duke's in October, 1746 in Fole, which Fole return'd Here in Sep: 1748, in exchange for ye above Colt being then two year old: ye younger Brother which was Brought from Sir M: Duke's My Lord sold to Mr Popham, and taken from Hence ye 11th February, 1749/50 1747: A Bay Colt Foale, by the Arabian -- This Colt sold to Mr Popham, 11th Feb., 1749 The above pedigree of the Spectacle Mare, appears to be that of the 3rd mare of Sir Marmaduke's, which was bred to the Godolphin Arabian; her produce there being Tarquin, Lord Rockingham's Godolphin Hunter, and another horse, which probably was in Ireland at some point, given that both Hill Forster and Sir Ralph Gore raced there. NOTE the pedigree given for Makeless. GSB, p382 says MAKELESS, by the Oglethorpe Arabian; and p389, OGLETHORPE ARABIAN (sire of Makeless). This may be the horse described as Mr Oglethorpe’s son of the Yellow Turk. Based on the above pedigree in Lord Rockingham’s collection, it seems more likely that “Mr Oglethorpe’s son of the Yellow Turk” was a brother to the dam of Makeless. Also NOTE that Lord Godolphin and Mr Crofts had different information about the dam of Tifter. 1The pedigree recorded in this document, by or for Lord Rockingham, is that of the Spectacle Mare, but the "label" indicates that the pedigree is of interest because of the bay colt foaled in 1747. Lord Godolphin's records correspond nicely with Lord Rockingham's list of the produce of the Spectacle Mare, and where the Godolphin record provides only the foaling year of the 3rd colt, Lord Rockingham gives an exact date, for his colt, the Godolphin Hunter. 2This is the horse later known as Tarquin as may be seen from Heber 1751 (matches to be run at the Newmarket Spring Meeting 1752): "Duke of Ancaster's b h Tarquin (late Fulk Grevill's Swiftsure) 6yo, by the Godolphin Arabian vs Mr Josiah Marshall's ch h Little Driver, aged, by Driver."

ABIGAIL (Sir C Sedley's) produced a filly by Panton's Crab, dam, in 1748, of gr c Martin, by Cade, and in 1754, ch f Modesty, by Cade. Lord Rockingham may have started the resulting foal at Newmarket in October 1759. His brown colt got by Whitenose, out of a daughter of Crab (Heber 1758) was beaten in a Match for 300gs by the Duke of Devonshire's Chesnut Mare (Heber 1759).

35.	[Godolphin Colt] Bay Colt [foaled 1753]	from Lord Godolphin, London, 10 Apr 1755	R193/38

Colt by my Arabian, out of the Sister to Volunteer

As noted below (see R193/62) it looks as if Lord Rockingham owned colts out of 2 different sisters to Volunteer. One mare's career as a broodmare is documented in the records of Lord Godolphin's stud as reproduced in Prior's The Royal Studs of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, 1935. Her first 2 foals by the Godolphin Arabian are noted as Sir M: Wyvill's; 2 more foals were recorded before a note of her sale to the Duke of Cumberland in March 1754. This appears to be the mare on p3 of GSB, where her 1754 produce by the Godolphin Arabian is noted as Miss Windsor. The 1753 bay colt appears in the Lord Godolphin's records with the note "...sold to Ld Rockingham, 13th April, 1755." Lord Rockingham engaged this colt in Matches in 1758 and 1759, but he appears to have started only in April 1759 at Newmarket in a Sweepstakes Match for 3000gs (one 4 mile Heat over the Beacon Course), when he placed 2d of 6 entries. His pedigree was variously given as by Oroonoko, out of Volunteer's sister (Heber 1759); by Lord Godolphin's late Arabian, out of Volunteer's Sister (Heber 1758, matches to come) and as by the Godolphin Arabian out of Valentine's sister (Pond 1757, matches to come). After his brief turf career, this colt seems to have retired to Lord Rockingham's Stud, where he was known as the Godolphin Colt. See GSB, p4: Marquis of Rockingham's 1754 c The Godolphin Colt, by [the Godolphin Arabian], out of Y BELGRADE MARE (another sister to Volunteer). The lists of the produce of the sisters of Volunteer need revision, (see R193/62).

Not in GSB; see R193/62




40.	Bay Colt [foaled 1758]	from James Browne, Scarborough, 22 Apr 1760	R193/43

Colt by Regulus; dam by Hutton's Spot; grandam (Stately's dam) by the Hutton Black Legs; her dam by Bay Bolton; her dam by Coneyskins; her dam by the Hutton Grey Barb; her dam by the Byerley Turk, out of a daughter of Bustler

Not in GSB. NOTE that Hutton's Stately (winner of the King's Plate for 5 year old mares at Hambleton in 1755) was a 1750 chesnut filly (not a bay colt, as stated in GSB, p 3). Her pedigree given while racing for Mr Hutton was "got by Mogul; her Dam by Hutton’s Black-legs, her Grandam by Bay Bolton, her Great Grandam by Coney Skins, her G G Grandam by Hutton’s grey Barb, her G G G Grandam by the Byerley Turk, out of a Bustler Mare (Pond 1755, 1756; Heber 1756). The Earl of Portmore did race a 1750 bay colt, also named Stately; his pedigree was given as by Crab - Lath - Crab - Gypsey, a black Mare of the Earl of Portmore's, a well-bred daughter of Bay Bolton (Pond 1754) It appears that the mare line developed in the Hutton stud, now generally referred to by the Bruce Lowe number 8, branched very early, with Mr Hutton's Byerly Turk Mare, having fillies by both Hutton's Royal Colt, and Hutton's Grey Barb; both branches produced descendants through the 1700's. See Family 8 Chart. Stately originated from one of these early branches, while Marsk's dam came from the other.




41.	Countess [a Mare]	from Leonard Hartley of Middleton Tyas Countess had 4 fillies (2 sold the last spring); also has 3 more mares descended from old Flying Whig; Flying Whig had 10 foals, 6 fillies (surviving? since she had no colts); 2 kept as brood mares & later sold to Lord Godolphin, the Great & Little Hartley Mares	R193/44 R193/45

Countess bred by Leonard Hartley, got by Hartley's Blind Horse; her dam (also dam of Joseph Andrews) by Hip; grandam (also dam of Babram) by Hartley's Blind Horse; g grandam (Flying Whig) by the Woodstock Arabian; g g grandam by St Victor's Barb; g g g grandam by Old Grey Whynot (son of the Fenwick Barb) Hartley's Blind Horse got by a Turk brought from Constantinople by Sir R Sutton when Ambassador for Queen Ann [so before 1714]; out of Sir Ralph Milbanke's black mare bought fromSedbury, got by Makeless; her dam by Old Royal Hip bred by Mr Pelham and got by the Old Bay Barb; his dam by Listers Turk; out of a running mare of the Duke of Kingston's called Piping Peg Woodstock Arabian of Williams's (sire of Flying Whig) also got Spider and Points St Victor's Barb also sire of the Bald Galloway Whynot famous both for racing and as a stallion

See GSB, p 64: COUNTESS, Bred by Mr HARTLEY, in 1737, got by his Blind Horse, her dam by Hip, out of the Large Hartley Mare, which was also by the Blind Horse; 7 of her offspring, all fillies, entered in GSB. For Lord Rockingham Countess also produced a filly by Squirt. This filly was engaged in a Match for 300gs at Newmarket, Easter-Week, 1760, so probably foaled in 1756 and probably the same that paid Forfeit in 1761, with the note "dead". NOTE: pedigree of Hip doesn’t correspond to that offered when the horse was advertised at Stud. See Family 23.

43.	Bay Colt [foaled 1752]	from Will St Quintin, Scampston, 16 Sep 1752	R193/48

Colt by Tartar, out of the above mare

Probably a brother to the filly noted on p 16, GSB. Lord Rockingham raced several horses and mares got by Tartar. By dates, the only one that might be this Tartar colt is Blakes, a Bay Colt, 8 st 7 lb, that lost a Match for 200gs to Lord Gower's Bay Colt, Pharoah, 9 st, in October 1757, over the 1st 2 miles of the Beacon Course at Newmarket (Heber 1757)

See GSB, p 16: SALOME (OR SELIMA), Foaled in 1733, got by Bethell's Arabian - Graham's Champion - Darley Arabian - Merlin; she is shown as dam of 2 fillies by Starling, owned by Lord Rockingham; the 1752 bl f has a broodmare entry on p201; the undated filly is mentioned on p 16 as dam of a f by Tartar. Since none of the produce of the mare shown on p 201 are attributed to Lord Rockingham, it seems likely that Lord Rockingham only owned one Starling Mare.

See GSB, p 158: PRETTY POLLY, Bred by Lord ROCKINGHAM, in 1751, got by Starling, her dam, Charming Molly (sister to Lord Leigh's Diana), by Second.

"Pretty Poll, three Years old, the Marquis of Rockingham's, was got by Starling; her Dam by Second, out of the Dam of Lord Leigh's Molly and Diana". In Heber 1755 & 1756, she appears as a "Bay Filly by Starling": she lost a Match for 1000gs against Lord March's grey filly, one mile over the Beacon Course at Newmarket, 3 October 1755, and paid forfeit in a Sweepstakes Match at Newmarket in April 1756.

Mare by the own Brother to the Bolton Fearnought, out of the famous Bald Charlotte. A filly at foot by the own Brother to Tarquin [Godolphin Hunter]

Not in GSB, but see Pond 1752; pedigrees of aged horses: JULIET, the Hon Josiah Child's, was got by a full Brother to Fearnought; she was out of Bald Charlotte, Daughter of Cast-away.

50.	Whistlejacket foaled 1 Apr 1749; sold to Sir William Middleton	Sweepstakes pedigree sent by Mr Hammond from Bolton	R193/54

Colt by Mogul; dam by Sweepstakes; grandam by the Chesnut Arabian at Hampton Court; g grandam by Makeless; g g grandam, Penelope, by Brimmer; out of Trumpet's dam Sweepstakes, got by Lord Oxford's Bloody-shoulder'd Arabian; his dam a white mare of Mr Snell's bred by Champion Dimmock, got by Mr Gaze's stallion; a mare that was sister to the dam of Brisk

GSB, p 206: Sir W Middleton’s 1749 ch c Whistlejacket, by Mogul, out of SWEEPSTAKES MARE, Foaled in 1736, her dam by the Hampton Court Ch. Arabian - sister to Brown Farewell, by Makeless - Brimmer - Place’s White Turk - Dodsworth - Layton Barb Mare. NOTE the pedigree for the Bolton Sweepstakes. While Sweepstakes' Sire has been frequently noted to be the Oxford Bloody-shouldered Arabian, his dam has been something of a mystery. Cheny (1744 Racing Calendar index) commented that the Lister Turk was also the sire of the Grand-Dam of the Bolton Sweepstakes, but did not mention either his sire or dam. At the time the horse raced in 1728, Cheny noted that the Duke of Bolton's chesnut horse Sweep-Stakes was "bred by the late Mr Snell." Pick (in his Pedigrees and Performances of the most celebrated Race-Horses, published about 1785, and in volume 1 of his Turf Register, named only the Sire of Sweepstakes, as did the first few editions of GSB. The 1891 edition says that his dam was a filly by Basto out of the Curwen (or Pelham) Old SPOT Mare, Bred by Mr CURWEN, her dam by The White Legged Lowther Barb, out of the Vintner Mare. On the other hand, a similar pedigree for the Bolton Sweepstakes was offered in an ad for his son Young Sweepstakes in the Dublin Journal (George Faulkner's) of April 25-28, 1747: "the Duke of Bolton's noted Sweep-Stakes... was got by Lord Oxford's Bloody-shouldered Arabian; his Dam by Gase's famous Stallion, out of a Mare that was full Sister to Brisk, who was got by Darlow's Arabian." It seems likely that the pedigree originating from the Duke of Bolton is correct, and that the Irish pedigree omitted the phrase "dam of" before "Brisk"; it also appears that there was some confusion about which Brisk was referred to. Lord Lonsdale's Brisk, raced in the Ladies' Plate for 5 year olds at York in August, 1716, and was said by Cheny, in 1747, to have been sired by the Darley Arabian. Lord Kingston's Brisk ran for a King's Plate at Newmarket in April 1719, so was probably about 2 or 3 years younger than Lord Lonsdale's Brisk; Cheny 1742 says that this Brisk was a son of the Lister Turk. No further information has yet been found about the dam of either of these Brisk's. As an aside, Sir Nathaniel Curzon's Brisk (gr h 1725) was sired by the Bloody-shoulder'd Arabian; given his name, perhaps his dam was closely related to, or the same as, the dam of the Bolton Sweepstakes. Mr Gaze's "famous Stallion" has not been identified, but "Mr Gaze of Lincolnshire" was credited by Cheny (1743) with being the breeder of Lord Essex's Smiling Ball. Perhaps the sire of Smiling Ball (a son of Acklem Merlin bred by Sir Matthew Pearson) was Mr Gaze's stallion. Also NOTE, in Whistlejacket’s dam-line, Penelope. See GSB, p 4: BRIMMER MARE, Bred probably at Hampton Court, her dam by Place’s White Turk - Dodsworth - Layton Barb mare; this mare was dam of Brown Farewell and a sister by Makeles. Under her dam’s entry on p 14 there is a note that she was given to Mr Crofts by Queen Anne. A mare named Penelope won the King’s Plate at Hambleton (C. M. Prior, The Royal Studs of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, p 213). It seems likely that the two are the same.




51.	Laura Bay Filly [foaled 1757]	from Edward Leedes, Milford, 14 Nov 1760 exchanged with Lord Rockingham, for a Godolphin Arabian Mare which he [previously] had from Mr Leedes [see R193/60 for a candidate Godolphin Arabian Mare]	R193/59

Filly by Second; dam by Mogul; grandam by Sweepstakes; g grandam, sister to Sloven, by Bay Bolton

See GSB, p 179: the SECOND MARE, Bred by Mr LEEDES, her dam by Mogul – Sweepstakes (Bolton) – sister to Sloven, by Bay Bolton; (had a filly by Starling in 1757) may have been a sister to Lord Rockingham's Laura.




52.	Bay [Leeds] Colt, foaled 12 Apr 1752 bred by Mr Leedes	from Edward Leedes, 23 Oct 1752	R193/60

Colt by Starling; dam by Lord Godolphin's Arabian; grandam by Devonshire Childers; g grandam by True Blue; g g grandam by Cyprus, out of the late Duke of Rutland's Mare Bonny Black

See GSB, p 93: Lord Rockingham’s 1752 b c by Starling, out of GODOLPHIN-ARABIAN [MARE] (sister to Amelia), Bred by Mr CROFTS, her dam by Flying Childers – Y True Blue – Cyprus Arabian – Bonny Black.




53.	Cade Colt Bay Colt, foaled 19 May 1756 bred by Mr Browne	from James Browne, Scarboro, 3 Mar 1760	R193/62

Colt by Old Cade; dam (sister to Volunteer), by Young Belgrade; grandam by Bartlet's Childers; g grandam by the Duke of Devonshire's Chesnut Turk; g g grandam by the Curwen Bay Barb; g g g grandam by the Curwen Spot, out of a daughter of Old Woodcock

See GSB, p 4: Marquis of Rockingham's 1756 b c by Cade, out of Y BELGRADE MARE (another sister to Volunteer). This colt appears to have started twice at Newmarket in 1760. In April, he was 2nd of 3 for a Sweepstakes of 100gs each; and in May, in the name of Corporal, he was beaten in a Match for 200gs, 5 miles over the Beacon Course, by Lord Waldegrave's grey horse. He was also matched against a filly of the Duke of Cumberland's for 500gs each; but this race seems not to have been run. Lord Rockingham appears to have owned 2 colts out of different sisters to Volunteer. Sister 1 appears in Lord Godolphin's records (see C M Prior, The Royal Studs..., 1935) as dam of 1) 1749 b f by the Godolphin Arabian (returned to Sir Marmaduke Wyvill, May 1750) 2) 1750 b f by the Godolphin Arabian (sold to Lord Eglinton, January 1753) -- one of these fillies may have been the Duke of Cumberland's sister to Miss Windsor (GSB, p94) 3) 1752 b f by the Godolphin Barb (sold to Mr Grisewood in 1756, with her 1756 b c by Doctor) 4) 1753 b c by the Godolphin Arabian (sold to Lord Rockingham, 13 April 1755): see the certificate from Lord Godolphin (R193/38 above) In March 1754, this mare was sold to the Duke of Cumberland (The Royal Studs..., p143); it seems very likely that she had been bred to the Godolphin Arabian, but did not foal before leaving the Godolphin Stud. In the Duke of Cumberland's possession, she had another 3 foals 5) 1754 f Miss Windsor, by the Godolphin Arabian 6) 1755 b f (Lord Portmore's) Madam, by Muley Ishmael, the Duke of Cumberland's Arabian 7) 1756 c by the Duke's Arabian, which Fairfax Harrison has argued (see Early American Turf Stock, 1730-1830, Volume 2, Horses, p 88) may have been the grey horse Crawford, owned by Robert Ruffin of Dinwiddie Co, Va, and advertised as bred by "His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, out of one of his brood mares and from his own Arabian." Sister 2 produced offspring sold by James Brown of Scarboro'; one of her sons (above) and a grandson (see R193/42) were purchased from Mr Brown by Lord Rockingham. There are also notices of several other offspring of a sister to Volunteer in the calendars, some or all of which may have been this mare's: 1) 1739 c Young Crispin (in Ireland), got by Wagtail (known in England as Ld Halifax's Crispin) 2) 1746 b f (Mr Pierce's) by the Bolton Starling; she was entered in a Sweepstakes for 4 yo fillies at York 16 Aug 1750, but pd Forfeit (the Bolton Starling stood in Ireland 1740-44, and 1746-48; but was returned to England in 1745) 3) <1748...1755> ch f by Regulus (dam of John Foster Hill's b f by Bajazet, matched spring 1758) 4? one of 6 mares to be bred to Wilson's Arabian for a 1755 foal for the Duke of Northumberland; one of the resulting foals engaged in a Match in 1758 5) 1760 f by Blank (Duke of Bridgewater's) engaged in a match at the Newmarket Second Meeting in 1764 (apparently was not run)




54.	Bay Colt, foaled 19 May 1756	from James Browne, Scarboro, 3 Mar 1760	R193/62

Colt by Changeling; dam by Dunkirk; grandam by Smiling Tom; g grandam (own sister to Sir Michael Newton's Bald Jack) by the Acklum Merlin

Not in GSB. Sir Michael Newton's Bald Jack, one of his most successful runners. See Sir Michael Newton's list of race horses.




55.	Broken-legged Bay Colt, foaled 13 May 1756 bred by Mr Browne	from James Browne, Scarboro, 3 Mar 1760	R193/62

Colt by Old Cade; dam (own sister to Mr Duncomb's Duchess, and Spider's dam), by the Duke of Devonshire's Blacklegs; grandam (sister to Goliah) by Old Fox; g grandam by Gream's Champion; out of a daughter of Sir Mathew Peirson's Blue Cap

For the dam of this horse, see GSB, p 88: Mr Langley's 1747 b f by Blacklegs (dam of Emilius, by Cade), out of FOX MARE (sister to Goliah), Bred by Mr HUTCHINSON, her dam by Graham's Champion - Sir M Pierson's Blue Cap. It is not clear whether the broken-legged Cade colt was the same as or a brother to Emilius. • Lord Rockingham's Emilius was noted in the Racing Calendars as sire of a 1777 b f out of Fair Maid (matched for 1781) (see GSB, p 332: NANNY-O!) and a 1778 b f out of Shadow (raced 1781); also in GSB as sire of Mayduke, in 1766, out of a mare by Hutton’s Spot, out of SWEEPSTAKES MARE (p 206) • Lord Rockingham’s broken-legged Cade colt was noted in the Racing Calendar as sire of a 1761 b c out of his Mary Grey (raced 1766). Spider, the Earl of Portmore's, was got by Cartouch; his Dam the Sooty Mare, which now belongs to the Earl of Northumberland, and is own Sister to the bay mare Mr Langley sold Mr Duncomb, and won the mare's Plate at Hambleton and Newmarket, and afterwards sold to Sir Edward O'Brien, in Ireland, for 300 Guineas, they were got by the Devonshire Black-Legs, out of Goliah's own Sister (Pond 1756; pedigrees of 4 Years Old horses).




56.	Mary Grey Grey Filly, foaled 1746 or '48 [written over]	from J Ramsden	R193/64

Filly by Regulus; her dam by Lord Lonsdale's Grey Arabian bought of Sir Thomas Wynn; grandam by Bay Bolton; g grandam by Darley's Arabian; g g grandam by Byerley Turk; g g g grandam by the Taffolet Barb; g g g g grandam by Mr Place's White Arabian; out of a Barbary Mare

Possibly the mare entered in GSB as the filly by Regulus, produce of Lord Lonsdale's 1736 f by the Lonsdale Arabian, out of BONNY LASS, Bred by Sir W RAMSDEN, in 1723, got by Bay Bolton - Darley's Arabian - Byerly Turk - Taffolet Barb - Place's Whtie Turk - Natural Barb Mare (p 41) Wynn's Arabian, evidently a grey (from the fact that he had several grey foals from non-grey mares), is listed as sire of 23 foals in the Ancaster Stud in the years 1726-1730, and 1732-1734 (C M Prior, Early Records of the Thoroughbred Horse, 1924, pp 82-85).




57.	Colt	Copy of Sir John's pedigree & certificate	R193/64

Colt by Regulus; his dam by Lord Lonsdale's Bay Arabian; his grandam [by] Snake; his g grandam by the Duke of Rutland's Grey Turk; his g g grandam by Hautboy; his g g g grandam by Bustler; his g g g g grandam by the Willoughby Barb; his g g g g g grandam was brought from Bolton Castle in the Time of the Grand Rebellion

Not in GSB. The same or another early "Bolton Mare" may be seen at the root of a pedigree in this ad from the Dublin Journal (George Faulkner's) of April 6-9, 1745: AT Ballinamona in the County of Westmeath, within half a Mile of Mullingar, the famous strong and beautiful Stallion called HOBGOBLIN, to be let to Mares this Season by Mr Smyth Thompson; he is but 8 Years old this Grass, full 15 Hands 3 Inches high, and strong in proportion, fit to breed for the Sod or Foxhunters, at 30 s a Mare for Leaps and Tryals, and a Shilling to the Groom. The said Horse was bred out of Mr Cook's Hobgoblin, his Dam was Violante, who was got by Bustard out of the Earl of Godolphin's old Snake Mare, who was got by Curwen's Bay Barb, out of a Daughter of Mabiliss [Makeless?], her Dam by the Westal Turk, her Grandam by Hautboy, her Great Grandam by Brimmer, and out of a Bolton Mare.---NB The said Horse was bred by the late Sir John Dutton.




58.	Squirt	from Thomas Metcalfe	R193/65

Colt by Bartlett's Childers; his dam by Snake; his grandam was the Old Wilks Mare (full sister to Clumsey, the sire of Fox), by Hautboy

See GSB, p 186: Lord Portmore's Squirt (1732 ch c) by Bartlet's Childers, out of SNAKE MARE (sister to Old Country Wench), Bred by Mr ROBINSON, her dam, Grey Wilkes, by Hautboy, out of Miss Darcy's Pet Mare (daughter of a Sedbury Royal Mare).




59.	Cloudy Brown Mare, foaled 9 Apr 1754	from J Ramsden, Byram, 15 Feb 1761	R193/68

Mare by Sampson; dam by Lord Lonsdale's Monkey; grandam by Lord Lonsdale's Bay Arabian; g grandam (full sister to Sir William Blacket's Bagpipe) by the Thoulouse Barb

Not in GSB. Of interest is the fact that Lord Rockingham raced a (1764) bay horse 1768-1770, named Monkey, by the Godolphin Hunter; perhaps he was offspring of Cloudy.




60.	Dam of the D of Cumberland's Marske Brown Mare, with a year old filly by Cade	from John Hutton, Marske, 29 Aug 1754	R193/67

Mare by [Hutton's] Blacklegs; her dam by Lister's Fox Cub; her grandam by Coneyskins; her g grandam by the Hutton Grey Barb; her g g grandam by the Royal Colt; her g g g grandam by the Byerley Turk, out of a mare got by Bustler.

The pedigree of Marske (sire of Eclipse) was given when he raced as: got by Squirt; his Dam by Hutton's Black Legs; his Grandam by Lister's Squirrel1 (Pond 1754; Heber 1755) got by Squirt, out of a Daughter of the Hutton Black-legs (Heber 1754) and when first advertised in the Racing Calendars: Mask was got by Squirt, Dam by Hutton's Black Legs, his Grandam by Lister's Squirrel. (Heber 1766) MASK, his late Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland's, ...was got by Squirt, a Son of Bartlet's Childers, his Dam by Hutton's Black Legs, his Grand Dam by the Fox Cub1, his Great Grand Dam by Coney Skins, his Great Great Grand Dam by Mr Hutton's Grey Barb, and is thought to be the highest English-bred Horse in the Kingdom. (Heber 1768) Marske's dam was first entered in An Introduction to a General Stud-Book (1791) as BLACKLEGS MARE, Bred by Mr HUTTON, her dam by Fox Cub - Coneyskins - Hutton's Grey Barb. Her offspring were listed as 1750 br c (D of Cumberland's) Marske, by Squirt; and 4 foals for Lord Rockingham: 1753 b f by Cade; 1755 br f by Whitenose; 1757 br b f by Regulus; 1760 b f Marcia, by the Godolphin Colt. All 4 fillies were matched by Lord Rockingham (although not all started) as may be seen in the various Racing Calendars. Her entry in the 1793 edition of The General Stud-Book was the same. In the 1803 edition, however, her entry was expanded. Her pedigree was given as "Bred by Mr HUTTON, got by his Blacklegs, her dam by Bay Bolton - Fox Cub - Coneyskins - Hutton's Grey Barb - Hutton's Royal Colt - Byerly Turk - Bustler;" and she was credited with 2 more undated offspring for Mr Hutton: fillies by Phantom and Hutton's Spot. Pick's entry for Marsk, in the first volume of his Turf Register (1803; p160) says the following: "MARSK was got by Squirt, out of the Ruby Mare; she was from a daughter of Bay-Bolton, and Mr Hutton's Blacklegs; grandam by Fox-cub; great grandam by Coneyskins; great great grandam by Mr Hutton's Grey Barb, a daughter of Mr Hutton's Royal Colt, a daughter of the Byerley Turk, from a Bustler Mare. ...The above are true Copies from Mr HUTTON's Stud-Book, MARSK, OCT. 1801. / E GELDARD." The most recent edition of GSB (1891) says BLACKLEGS MARE (the Ruby Mare), Bred by Mr HUTTON, got by his Blacklegs, her dam by Bay Bolton - Fox Cub - Coneyskins - Hutton's Grey Barb - Hutton's Royal Colt - Byerly Turk - Bustler. 1747 bl f Black Phantom, by Phantom ... Mr Hutton f by Hutton's Spot ... Mr Hutton 1750 br c Marske, by Squirt ... Duke of Cumberland 1752 b f by Cade (dam of Hazard, by Tartar) ... Lord Rockingham 1753 b c Careless (Hutton's), by Hutton's Spot ... Lord Rockingham 2 1755 br f by Whitenose ... Lord Rockingham 1757 br b f by Regulus ... Lord Rockingham 1760 b f Marcia, by the Godolphin Colt ... Lord Rockingham It is of interest that neither Mr Hutton, in the certificate in this collection, nor Lord Rockingham refers to this mare as the Ruby Mare; and Lord Rockingham, in fact, owned another mare, acquired from Lord Portmore, known as Ruby or the Ruby Mare. Unless or until the stud records of the Hutton's of Marske are discovered, it is not possible to resolve the discrepancy between Mr Hutton's pedigree certificate for Marske's dam, and the pedigree copied by E Geldard. However, it seems that at this time, Mr Hutton's certificate should be considered the more authoritative source. NOTES: 1. Lister's Squirrel was also known as Lister's Fox Cub. (Cheny 1743: "Fox was bred by the late Sir Ralph Ashton Bart. who purchased two Fillies of Mr. Leeds, and cover'd them both in one Season with Clumsey, one of which Covers produced Fox, the other Fox Cub or Squirrel") 2. There is no evidence from the Racing Calendars or from the records of Lord Rockingham's stud so far examined to support his ever racing or owning a colt called Careless. Mr Hutton raced at least 2 Careless's, the one closest in time to the dam of Marske was a 1742 grey colt, by a Son of Hartley's Blind Horse (probably Hutton's Spot).

Pedigrees used to create this chart

Pedigrees are confusing and perhaps confused; the most credible are:

ALMONY (1753), Mr Curzon’s [apparently same as Atalanta, dam of Sultana, in GSB, i, 1891], was got by Regulus; her Dam by the Duke of Bolton’s Little John, her Grandam by Mr Hutton’s Black Legs, her Great Grandam by Mr Leister’s Squirrel, her G G Grandam by Coney Skins, her G G G Grandam by the Grey Barb, her Dam’s Dam was got by a Horse called the Royal Colt, from a Daughter of the Byerley Turk (Pond 1757)

The DORIMOND MARE was one of the few Hutton-bred horses still in the possession of Mr [James] Hutton at the time the General Stud Book was begun. She is one of only 2 with a broodmare entry in the Introductory volume of 1791, and appears there without pedigree. Her pedigree was first given in the edition of 1793. In the Supplement of 1800 both her list of produce and pedigree were corrected, with a comment by the editor that "As there was a trifling error in the pedigree as well as in the produce of the Dorimond mare, the whole is here re-printed." 5 more foals, all bred by Mr Hutton, the last in 1789, suggest that the source of the corrections appearing in 1800 was Mr Hutton himself. The corrected pedigree was: DORIMOND MARE, 72 [page reference to 1793 edition] Bred by Mr HUTTON, got by Dorimond (Son of Dormouse) her dam, Portia (sister to Plaything's dam) by Regulus - Hutton's Spot - Fox Cub - Bay Bolton - Coneyskins - Hutton's Grey Barb - Byerly Turk
