Dodsworth's Dam

Mr Prior notes that "Barb mares that were actually imported, and are the earliest known of their respective families, are the dam of Dodsworth, who was foaled about 1670, Lord Arlington's mare, given by him to Mr Wilkinson of Boroughbridge, and Queen Anne's well-known Moonah Barb mare, who was got 'by a Barb in that country,' and 'brought over in the same mannr as The Royal African' (ie, in utero) to Hampton Court, as attested by Mr Marshall, the King's (William III ) stud-master" [Royal Stud:76].
 
Nimble

Most of Family 32 descends from Nimble.
 
Old Child Mare

The General Stud Book gives the pedigree of the Old Child Mare as: "Bred by Mr Child, or Mr Burdett, got by Sir T Gresley's Bay Arabian called Bay Roan, out of Vixen, by The Helmsley Turk, out of The Royal Mare, which was Dodsworth's dam" [GSB 1:6].

The Turf Register notes that "The OLD CHILD MARE (grandam of Whimsey) was also bred by Mr Burdet, and got by Sir Thomas Gresley's Arabian, called Bay Roan; out of Sir Walter Burdet's (afterwards Mr Burdet's) Vixen, which was purchased of Mr Coke" [Pick 1:72].

Both sources agree that Sir Thomas Gresley's bay Arabian was called Bay Roan.

 
Silvertail

The mare line of Silvertail is corrected from the Turf Register: "SILVERTAIL was got by Whitenose; her dam by Rattle, out of an own sister to Lord Viscount Tracey's Whimsey, and Mr Burdett's Kitty Burdet - Silvertail's dam was also the dam of Lord Cullen's Jigg, son of Old Jigg, (sire of Partner)" [Pick 1:72].

"SILVERTAIL (bay), Bred by Mr Warren, in 1737, got by Mr Heneage's Whitenose (son of Hall Arabian) - Rattle (son of Sir J Harpur's Barb) - Darley's Arabian - the Old Child Mare, by Sir T Gresley's Bay Arabian (Bay Roan) - Mr Cook's Vixen, by the Helmsley Turk - Dodsworth's dam". The General Stud Book omits the cross of the Young Child Mare [GSB 1:183].

The Young Child Mare cross is also recorded on the bottom of the portrait of Warren's Careless: "Careless a Horse remarkable for his great size and strength as well as his Performances on the Turf, was bred by the late John Borlaw Warren Esq at Stapleford near Nottingham, he was got by Regulus (a Son of the late Lord Godolphin's Arabian) and out of his Famous Silver-Tail Mare, she was got by Mr Heneage's Whitenose, he was got by Mr Hall's Arabian out of a Jigg Mare. Her dam was got by Rattle Son of Sr J Harpur's Barb (Rattle's Dam was a Royal Mare) her Grand Dam by Darcey's Arabian out of the Dam of Lord Tracey's Whimsey her Great Grand Dam by Sr Tho Goosley's Bay Mare out of a Mare of Mr Cookes call'd Vixen which was out of the Dam of Dodsworth and got by the Helmesley Turk. Careless after the Death of the late Mr Warren was Purchas'd by his Grace the Duke of Kingston for a large Sum of Money, and is now Esteem'd one of the most Capital Stallions in this Kingdom" [Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses1:facing p 77].

See also the evidence for the Young Child Cross under Whitefoot Mare, below

The General Stud Book attributes four foals, all in the name of Mr Burdett, to the Young Child Mare:
The Stanhope Mare (f 1711 Darley Arabian)
Whimsey [later Lord Tracy's] (f Darley Arabian)
Kitty Burdett (f Darley Arabian)
Rattle Filly (f Rattle)
The Rattle filly, who became the dam of Silvertail, was not a daughter of the Young Child Mare, but a grandaughter, her dam being the Darley Arabian Mare who was sister to the Stanhope Mare, Whimsey and Kitty Burdett [GSB 1:6].

 
Vixen

"VIXEN (the great grandam of Whimsey) was got by the Earl of Holderness's Turk, out of the dam of Dodsworth" [Pick1:72].

"Vixen, by The Helmsley Turk, out of The Royal Mare, which was Dodsworth's dam" [GSB 1:6].

Since King Charles II died in 1685, Pick's description of Dodsworth supplies an approximate year of birth for Vixen and her dam: "DODSWORTH (though foaled in England) was a natural Barb - His dam, (a Barb Mare) was brought over in the time of King Charles the Second, and was styled a Royal Mare - She was sold by the Stud-Master, about or soon after the said King's death, for 40gs, at 20 years old, when in foal of Vixen - Dodsworth was a stallion, and covered several well-bred Mares, as will appear in the various pedigrees" [Pick 1:72].

 
Whimsey

"WHIMSEY (own sister to the grandam of Silvertail) was bred by Robert Burdet, Esq, who made a present of her, when a yearling, to Lord Tracey - She was got by Mr Darley's Arabian (sire of Childers); out of the Young Child Mare" [Pick 1:72].
 
Whitefoot Mare* [Gower's]


The pedigree supplied a certificate given by her importer John Gower, of Richmond County, Virginia, which supports the Young Child cross in Silvertail's pedigree: "Gower's imported mare got by Whitefoot : Bald Galloway : Old Smales : Darley's Arabian : Mr Burdet's Young Child Mare, by the Harpur Barb : Old Child Mare by Sir Thomas Gresley's Bay Arabian : her dam by the Helmsley Turk : her dam was also the dam of Old Dodsworth " [E 1:47].

Harrison also notes that "Considering her early date, the Whitefoot mare was probably sent to America for use as a hunter and not for the turf; but the fact remains that on the evidence here argued she is entitled to historical priority as the first 'bred' mare identified in America" [E 1:46].

She is the 13th dam of Judge Leonard (b c 1865).

 
Young Child Mare

Pick's description of the "YOUNG CHILD MARE (dam of Whimsey) was bred by the said Mr Burdet, and got by his Arabian, out of the Old Child Mare," introduces Burdett's Arabian, who may have been the same horse as Harpur's Barb [Pick 1:72].
