Dabster, by Hobgoblin
Silver Eye by Cullen Arabian
Silver-Eye (grandson of above) by imported Merry Tom

Cameleon - described as: A beautiful dark brown mare, very well formed, interspersed all over her body with white hairs and spots, with two white hind feet, interspersed also with black streaks and spots, and a streak of white on her face, 15 hands high; bred by the Compiler of this book, foaled in 1823
Got by the C.A.R.H. (Classic American Race Horse) Old Virginian (son of the C.A.R.H. Old Sir Archie)— Rosetta, by the I. H. (Imported Horse) Old Dion — Goose-neck, by the I.H. Old Druid—Fanny, by the I.H. Old Sharke — Malvinia.by the I.H. Hart's Old Medley— I.H. Baylor's Old Fearnought— I.H. Old Janus— Quaker-Lass, by the I. H. Kouilikhan — I. H. Valliant — out of an imported mare, imported by the late Honorable Col. William Byrd, of Charles City County Va., and called Blazella, got by Blaze in England ; her dam was the imported mare, called Jenny Cameron, got by Cuddy (a son of Fox,) — out of Miss Belvoir — called the Cabbage-Arsed Mare.
Her son:
FIRST FRUITS, A beautiful dark brown horse, 15 hands 3 inches high, of the most substantial form, good shape, and possesses great muscular powers, symmetry and action, and handsomely marked ; his body interspersed all over with white hairs, with two hind feet white, interspersed also with black spots ; particularly, (like his dam,) discovering, at a single glance of the eye, the two excellent crosses of the imported horses, Hart's Old Medley and Old Shark, in him. Few, (very few horses indeed,) can equal or surpass him, for size, shape, or beauty of figure, form, or action ; foaled the property of Mr. Samuel Washington Pattillo, of Mecklenburgh Co. Va. ; foaled in 1829 —
