Pedigree of Mary Sheppard, dam of Abdul Hamid II:

This pedigree contains the pedigree of Henry Clay. Like all the “Clay Arabians,” Mary Sheppard traces back in at least one line to Khasnadger. “American Thoroughbred” refers to horses descended from Colonial imports such as Jolly

Roger, Fearnought, Morton’s Traveller and imported Janus ( see “Horses of the American Colonies,” EQUUS 468).
