He sired a few. He was inbred to Upwey Ben Don. 
He was also inbred to Upwey Ben Don. He also sired some. 
Note that these are half brothers; they had the same sire. 
Their sire had Gov't, Lippitt, Old Vermont, and the paternal grand dam's dam was bred by the LU Sheep Co, WY. 
The second dam of Leader's, Little Sister, was mostly Lippitt and High Percent Old Vermont.

Hy Crest Satina. The Morgan Horse Magazine. Jan-Feb 1984


Photo above from TMH, from before Carol Guay owned her. 
Photo below from the AllBreed site, showing her as a well aged mare when owned by Carol Guay. 
Satina had 4 gray foals from her 10 total foals. The first two were from before Carol owned her and were gelded. 
In the very late 1980's, I was researching an article for TMH about gray Morgans. I had a list of all the living gray Morgans in the breed from AMHA (and that was a very short list). I heard back from the owner of one of Satina's geldings and from Carol Guay who was amazed that she had the last traceable breeding age gray. (Much later, the other breeding age gray mare was found.) So Carol bred Satina some more and got two gray colts who have bred on and today, most gray Morgans trace back to them: CW's Sterling Silver and CW's Silver Ash. 
Looking at Satina's pedigree one can see that the gray color came from a mare, listed only as Gray Remount mare. bred by the US Livestock Experiment Station in Miles City, MT who was out of a Richard Sellman mare and sired by a gray Arabian. That mare was bred to Monterey, a Gov't Farm stallion from Vermont, and produced the mare Babe who was never registered. Babe was bred to Beaujeau who was bred by Helen Greenwalt and sired by Highview King and out of a LU Sheep Co. mare. This produced Lady Satin, who was bred and lived in Michigan. Finally, Lady Satin, now owned by Richard Measel, was bred to Hy Crest Koko and produced Hy Crest Satina. 
Satina had a good, solid pedigree. And now we still have grays in the breed.

Casablanca was sired by Upwey King Benn who was sired by the Saddlebred, Upwey King Peavine. King Benn's dam,, Audrey, was bred by the Gov't Farm and sired by Bennington. She was out of Carolyn, a mare of the Old Vermont High Percent blood.

Daisy was out of a mare sired by Denning Allen, and out of a mare said to be Morgan, but no known ancestry. 
Casablanca had 10 registers foals. Three of her daughters bred on:
--Mademoiselle of Windcrest. She was dam of Windcrest Don Again who had 45 get with many breeding on. She was dam of Windcrest Donny Boy who sired Milady Dona, who was dam of Windhover Enchantmint, who sired many who bred on.

Waseeka's Peter Piper. The Morgan Horse Magazine. June 1984


He had quite a lot of Lippitt and Old Vermont High Percent behind him, as well as some Brunk. His great grand sire, Starfire, is Western Working Family with a lot of Brunk behind it. 
I remember him as a typey, little fellow with a lot of personality and energy.

Black Berry. The Morgan Horse Magazine. Jan-Feb 1978


A pedigree of mostly Brunk with a touch of each of these: Gov't, Old Midwest, Lippitt, WWF. 
He sired some that bred on a ways. 
{One of his daughters was Candy Lee whom we briefly owned. We had her daughter, Reed's Gallant Dandy, and since we bought her in foal, we had SSM Gallant Black Hawk from her.}
