Correctly called *Jack the Batchelor, this colt is frequently
confused with Thompson's Batchelor (gr.c. 1748) by Blaze
- Smiling Tom, who stood in England in 1766, and therefore

won a sweepstakes for 600 sovereigns at Doncaster. He

as having been much admired by the best judges for his
beautiful form and carriage, he was said to be a silver-grey
with a black mane, standing nearly sixteen hands. His
beauty coupled with his size and strength made him an
admirable sire of riding and carriage stock. Before leaving
England he got the racehorse *Granby (b.c. 1762) who appears
in the pedigree of Thora (b.f. 1880, by Longfellow) via
Lewis's Eclipse (c. 1791). William Evans of Surrey County,

Black Prince
(bl c 1789). Family
21. Edgar and Bruce confused him with Black Prince (whose
pedigree appears in the American Stud Book) who remained
in England. However, it appears that Hutton's Black
Prince ([ex-Mr. Robertson's Leviathan] 1788 bl c by
Mungo, out of Dunce's dam) would fit based on dates, and
that he would probably have been available for export,
since his owner James Hutton died in March 1798 [Pick's
Vade Mecum 1793:157, 218].
Black Sultan
(bl.c. 1800), a Barb, was sent to the President of the

as "leggy as a mountain Arab" with superb conformation.
After Melli Melli departed both were sold for the benefit
of the U. S. Treasury. Black Sultan stood his first season
with John Tayloe II, going to Elias Earle in South Carolina
in 1807, and to John Gallant in 1808. One Barb mare was
sent to Louisiana and produced Beau Laquaise (c. 1807),
and no further infomation is known about either. The other
Barb mare went to Jefferson's son-in-law John Eppes who
was also a member of Congress. She was sent to Virginia
where she foaled Sultana (f. 1807). This Barb mare was
then bred to *Citizen and produced a foal (f. c1810) that

Partner by Partner - Brown Farewell by Makeless - Brimmer

Brown (br.c. before 1791) by Paymaster (b.c. 1766 by Blank)
- Harpur's Herod - Eclipse - Omar - Sterling - Godolphin
Arabian. Imported in 1805 and stood in New Jersey. The
pedigree given for the dam is improbable by the dates.
Bruce entered Harpur's Herod, a hunter sire, thus the
colt is most likely a hunter.
Highlander
Grey (1783) Family
26. Bred by Mr. Douglas and imported into New York
in 1794 by John Harriot. His dam Tetotum won the Oaks
Stakes. Racing for Mr. Douglas at the Newmarket Craven

Jack Andrews
(1794) Family 9.
Bred by Mr. Lord and imported by William Lightfoot of
Sandy Point, Virginia. Jack of Diamonds
Spotswood's (b.c. c1754) by Young Hautboy (c. by Fox).
His dam has not been identified. He stood in the Rappahannock
Valley of Virginia from around 1758 to 1770. He sired
the eighth dam of Lexington (b.c. 1850). The American
Stud Book pedigree for Jack of Diamonds was a result
of confusing *Jack of Diamonds with Spotswood's *Diana,
who herself was confused with Bland's Duchess, who in
turn was said by ASB to have also been called Diamond.
Janus or
Little Janus or Stiff Dick (ch.c. 1746) by Old Janus (b.c.
1738 by Godolphin Arabian) - Fox - Bald Galloway. Bred
by Mr. Swymmer and imported into Virginia about the year
1756. He was the property of John Goode, Sr. of Mecklenburgh
County, Virginia, who agreed to give £150 Virginia currency
for him, provided he was safely delivered at his stable
in the winter of 1779 or 1780, being in the 34th year
of his age. Janus started for the stable of Mr. Goode
as aforesaid and progressed as far as the stable of Colonel
Haynes where he died in 1780. This colt is not entered
in the Stud Book or Racing Calendar. He was foaled before
the issue of either. It is proposed that the Bald Galloway
mare is one bred by Mr Bartlet, a brown mare called Mandaine.
She may have been bred by Lord Portmore, many of whose
horses were not recorded in the General Stud Book.
John Bull (GB)
(1789) Family 13.
Bred by Lord Grosvenor, he won the Derby. He sired *Admiral
Nelson (br.c. 1795) and Ardrossan (b.c. 1809). There is
no evidence that this horse came to America, since he
was in the stud in England until 1812, when he was 23.
A horse noted in John Tayloe's stud book as *John Bull
(ro.c. 1796) imported in 1799, of the "Flanders breed,"
was bred by Mr. Lowe. Randolph of Roanoke describes the
horse as "coach-bred."
John Bull
(1833) Family 4-b.
Purchased for Captain R. F. Stockton and imported in 1834
when a yearling. The General Stud Book does not credit
his dam with a foal in 1833. Her last foal was by Sultan
in 1831, and a note states that she was sent to Germany.
Jolly Roger (GB)
or Roger of the Vale in England (1741) Family
2. He was bred by Mr. Craddock from a mare bred by
Mr. Crofts. This colt was not exported.
Jolly Roger
(ch.c. 1743) by Stamford's Mogul (c. by Godolphin Arabian)
- Partner. He was imported by John Spotswood and his brother-in-law
Colonel Bernard Moore with Creeping Kate in 1751. The
Partner mare is as yet unidentified. *Jolly Roger stood
the seasons 1752-58 at Spotswood's farm in Spotsylvania
County, 1759-65 at Wormeley's farm in Middlesex County,
1766 at Charles Harrison's in Prince George County, 1767
at Freeman's Brook in Sussex County, 1768-69 at Allen's
Mill, Brunswick County, all in Virginia. He sired the
unnamed mares who became the taproots of two American
mare families: A26 and A 51. *Jolly Roger died in 1769.
*Jolly Roger was a distinguished sire and appears as a
frequent cross in old Virginia pedigrees. The American
Stud Book erroneously shows *Jolly Roger to be Roger
of the Vale, an English horse. However, in a letter by
John Baylor dated 2 August 1761 (ten years after *Jolly
Roger's importation), Baylor describes *Jolly Roger, formerly
owned by the Duke of Kingston, as running well in 1749,
as is described in the Racing Calendars of the day. The
pedigree given in the Racing Calendar reads by Mogul -
Partner, which is the source of the pedigree given here.
Another certificate gives the horse's importer as John
Spotswood and his brother-in-law Bernard Moore in 1751.
When the American Stud Book was being compiled
the letters were unknown, and at the time, Randolph of
Roanoke attempted to match *Jolly Roger with a horse in
the General Stud Book. The only colt he could find
who corresponded with the date was Roger of the Vale,
and an explanation for his name change was never provided.

Lofty
Hutton's (1760). This colt is probably the imported
Lofty, however, he is not positively identified. He was

Family 8, however,
since she raced through July 1759 (racing for Sir
Richard Grosvenor beginning in 1757) and she also had
several known foals for Grosvenor, it appears as if she
went into the Grosvenor stud after her race days.

The American Stud Book erroneously gives Republican
as a separate horse. *Monarch was imported in 1793, and
