Glen's Morgan. Western Livestock Journal. Sept. 1952



The top photo is from the first page of the Horse section of Western Livestock Journal and features Glen's Morgan as horse of the month. 
The second photo is cropped from the page that had this info to go w/the photo. 
The third photo is an ad placed by his owners. 
The 4th photo is from the AllBreed site. 
Bred in Iowa by W W Chatteron, his sire was bred by J C Brunk. His dam was also bred by Chatteron, of Wapello, Iowa; Chatteron is another of those good Iowa breeders who has mostly been forgotten. The 2nd dam and also her dam were both bred by Chatteron. So Glen's Morgan and the 3 mares of his bottom  mare line were all bred by Chatteron. Sadly, there is no info on the 3rd dam's dam. 
Glen's Morgan was sire of 15 registered get. Some of those had at least one progeny of their own. 
However, it appears that nothing comes down to today.

Kennebec Morgans The Morgan Horse Magazine. August 2002

This is the pedigree of Kenn. Recount. Lippitt Ethan Don is the sire line, but check how Lippitt was added in following generations. Note also the judicious use of the other Morgan families. 

Here is the pedigree of Kenn. Joyful Encounter. Again, a Lippitt sire line and further Lippitt added in following generations. Again, a judicious use of the other Morgan families. 

Helen May was bred by Roland Hill, Calif. She brought in the ranch bred Morgans of the west. The pedigree below is that of Kenn. Enchantress, who has Helen May on her bottom mare line. Her pedigree shows a wise use of an outside stallion. 

Sunday News was from the Old Midwest Family. She is on the bottom mare line of Kenn. LadyHawke. There is a really nice photo of LadyHawke on the below link. 

Margaret Gardiner was a master of utilizing the different Morgan families to create a Sports and using Morgan.
