Her sire, although bred in Washington, was of all California breeding.
Her dam was sired by the Brunk bred, Red Vermont.
Her maternal grand dam was Laydee, who has some wonderful early California history behind her. Laydee was bred by Duval Williams, Chowilla, CA. He was an important very early California.breeder. Laydee's sire, Cuyamo, was also bred by Williams. From the AllBreed site (which I wrote many years back)--
| Color: br Height: 15.1 AMHA #7974 Brown, strip, lh pastern white, 1175 lbs. Foaled 8/1/1931, Madera, CA. Bred by Duval Williams. Advertised in Western Livestock Journal in the 1930s. He would be taken to the mares home for breeding. Has few Morgan descendants but likely had many part Morgan and Grade Morgans to his credit in the San Joaquin Valley. Registered Morgan progeny: 4 colts, 7 fillies. |
Laydee's dam was Lady, bred by Duval Williams and sired by Bender, a Roland Hill bred sired by Pat Allen and out of a Sellman mare. Lady's dam was listed simply as the J B Haggins Mare She was foaled in 1910 and was bred by James Ben Ali Haggins, a noted land owner in the Central Valley and rancher of note who also bred horses. Look at this mare's pedigree-- https://beta.allbreedpedigree.com/j-b-haggins-mare-6MekSmxG/pedigree She was basically a Morgan.
Lady was our only link to the very first Morgans that came to California in the 1800's.
Lady had only 2 foals that came into the latter 20th century; they were Dulcet and Laydee.
Laydee did have some foals that bred on, including the dam of WOODSIDE VICTORIA, who had 6 foals. Victoria was dam of Peggy Dawson and Sylvia Dawson. Only Sylvia had further foals and then the line was gone.
I am sad to say that I do not believe that any line from Laydee has made it into this century, thus we have lost that link to history.
