Bred by the US Gov't Farm, he was another of the great Bennington x Artemisia cross. His dam brought in the undisputed, Old Vermont High Percent blood. If she had been sold to Robert L. Knight, she would have been a Lippitt Foundation horse. But she was sold to the Gov't Farm and brought to them some wonderful Morgan blood.
Bennington had a Morgan sire line but a Saddlebred dam. The paternal grand dam of Bennington was mostly Thoroughbred and Trotter blood with a thin line to Justin Morgan.
Ulysses had only 26 registered Morgan get. He served in the US Remount service and had get in that program from a variety of mares.
But his Morgan get included some very important ones.
--Babs, dam of Gadabbott, dam of Abbington of Shady Lawn, Abby Gail, Captain Fillmore.
--Delmont, sire for the Gov't farm and others with lines to today in many places.
--Gwen-S, dam with lines to today.
--Melysses, sire for UNH and others.
--Quizkid, sire of 86 get, and so very important in the Midwest.
--Quotation, dam for UC.
--Ulyselba, dam of Gayselba who was dam of some good ones that bred on.
--Ulendon, the most famous of all, sire of 94 get. Ever so many bred on but his most famous would be Orcland Leader and Orcland Vigildon.
