"This mare has not the requisite number of crosses to constitute a thoroughbred, but she was one of the most celebrated broodmares in America." [ASB ii:3]

"[The]dam of [Monsieur] Tonson was a mare of great beauty and showed good blood in all her points, and as a good brood mare may surely rank with the best in the United States" [J.S. Skinner, American Turf Register September 1832]

She was said to be distinguished by her accomplishments on the turf

Died 28 February 1831
