| Owner: John Crofts Breeder: John Crofts
An early mare in the lineage of Family 4 from which all branches of the family descend, except branches 4-a, 4-o and 4-p.
However, mtDNA analysis has shown that the descendants of Sister to Guy (out of Brown Farewell) are maternally unrelated to descendants of branches 4-o and 4-p (which descend from Brown Farewell's half sister Bay Layton). Branches 4-o and 4-p are rather related to Families 11 and 13. There is therefore a pedigree error in Family 4, most likely in a GSB recorded descendant of Bay Layton not actually being related to her.
Grandam of [Croft's] Spinster (1740 King's Plate [mares] Hambleton, 1741 King's Plate Newmarket);
of [Morton's] Traveller (very successful sire in America); and of the King's Plate winners Bandy (1753 Nottingham, Lincoln, Newmarket) and Stump (1750 Guildford, Lewes); and 5th dam of top class racehorse Drone (1783 King's Plate Newmarket, Jockey Club Plate, 1785 Jockey Club Plate, 1786 Jockey Club Plate)
