FAMOUS SONS AND EARLY DESCENDANTS

Photo by Jane Kennedy O'Neil

Sherman Morgan, Bulrush Morgan and Woodbury Morgan were Figure's most famous and influential sons, and the three sons through which most Morgans of today trace their ancestry to the original Morgan Horse.

Black Hawk, a son of Sherman, and Hale's Green Mountain, a grandson of Woodbury, were the dominant Morgan sires of the mid-19th century. Blackhawk's son, Ethan Allen, was probably the most celebrated horse of his day and the epitome of America's ideal horse.
