Muslin Face
 
Although her pedigree is not known, Harrison describes her as a "consistent winner of Fifties (races) for Galloways". She is known from advertisements to have been brought to Virginia in 1748 by Joseph Morton along with Traveller*. Her line is now extinct in tail female, but Muslin Face remains a fixture of deep pedigree via the descendants of Sir Solomon, Commutation, et al.
 
Bandy
 
Included by Harrison among the get of Clockfast* only by virtue of her presence in Sir Solomon's pedigree, but therefore acknowledged as the dam of Vesta. Her pedigree as entered by Edgar and repeated by Bruce is identical to that given above but for the fact that the tap is identified as an "imported Barb mare".
 
Sir Solomon
 
Sir Solomon was purchased as a four year old by Bela Badger for $1,000.
 
Mary Churchill
 
 In his entry for this mare in the American Stud Book [AmSB 2:45] Mr Bruce notes "we think this mare had other foals not reported". She is recorded there as a chesnut, however, other sources, such as Skinner, record her color as bay.
 
Vesta
 
Entered as a "Celebrated American Racing" mare by Edgar, but mentioned by Harrison only in the context of her son, Sir Solomon, as "an obscure Southside Virginia mare of whose breeding there are several variants".
