Gipsey-Allen 9810

This horse was gelded, but he has an interesting pedigree.
His sire was Gypsey Prince 8319 by Gypsey King. King had many offspring in the Mid-Atlantic area. His sire was Kenney's Morgan 4982 by Knox Morgan. This was a different line to Knox then what usually comes down to today. Gypsey King was out of Gipsey Queen 0870 by Rocket 203, a grandson of Sherman Morgan.
Gypsey Prince's dam, Nunda, was by Scotland 6000 who was by General Gates and out of Highland Mary by Lambert Chief 1489. Scotland is not often found today.
The dam of Gipsey-Allen was Althea 04595 by Allen H by Ethan Allen 3rd and out of Black Bess by Governor Fisk by Flying Morril. Althea's dam Agatha was by Croydon Prince and out of Artemisia. This line to Artemisia was from her time before she went to the Government Farm.

Sadly, most of this above blood is gone. Back in the 1990's I would see an occasional pedigree with Gypsey Prince, but it was rare. In the middle of last century, there were still Morgans around with different and rare old lines. It is pretty much gone now.
