One that got away--sad for the breed. He was not a roan, but a gray, the color coming from his dam. She was sired by Troubadour of Willowmoor. Her dam, Rachel, was by Ethan Allen 4696 and out of Nelly, x-04397. Nelly was by Tommy, son of Scioto 5377 and a mare by DeLong's Ethan Allen 1550. Nelly was said to by out of a Morgan mare. This was some different old blood that has, other then Troubadour of Willowmoor, been lost to today.
