Vanguard had a wonderful pedigree. His sire was bred by Elmer Brown, one of the breed's Master Breeders. His paternal grandsire, Romanesque, was bred by another Master Breeder, Richard Sellman. The paternal grandam, Lemax, also Elmer Brown bred, was mostly the Old Midwest Family. Go back behind her to the stallion St. L and trace him back to two sons of Justin Morgan not often seen. Lemax's maternal grandam, Helen S, was a daughter of Headlight Morgan from when he was in Kansas before he went to Texas and Sellman's ranch.
Vanguard's dam was Old Midwest Family with a touch of Brunk. She also has St. L behind her. Kitty Edna's sire was the very good Winterset.
Vanguard had 13 registered get, and 6 had at least one foal of their own. But as a loss to the breed, only one of those bred on in any significant manner. This was his daughter, Van's Lady who had six foals with only one having any progeny. That one was Royce's Falcon. He sired many, including: Black Bart; Brown Leaf; Faith K R; Falconhaux; Fanchon Gold D; Farceur Morgan; Fonda KR. All of whom made names for themselves in the Morgan world.
It is also worth taking a look at the other pedigrees of the horses mentioned above to see the sort of breeding behind these Morgans.
If you have a descendent of Vanguard, treasure that!
