The
first COPPERBOTTOM stallion imported into Middle Tennessee is believed to have
been FENWICK'S COPPERBOTTOM, probably a grandson of the Morgan Copperbottom,
bred by Capt. Jewett. As was the custom in those days, FENWICK'S COPPERBOTTOM soon became
known as "OLD COPPERBOTTOM" in his new home.
The Lexington, Kentucky, GAZETTE, on April 4, 1832, carried the
following advertisement on the Fenwick horse:
Pedigree: got by BRUTUS and came out of
SNIP; BRUTUS by Capt. M. Jewett's COPPERBOTTOM from Bolton, Canada, and
his dam by ROBIN GRAY, SNIP by PITT'S BALL and out of a CELER mare.
BALL by the imported ROYALIST and from Davis' celebrated race
mare, she by LAMPLIGHTER, and he dam by OLD JUNIPER. LAMPLIGHTER by OLD
MEDLEY.
