It seems to me the a gray mare appraised at $90.00 and a strawberry grey
mare at $80 in the 1860s is a goodly price for a horse to pull a plow,
etc.. Isaac had 3 other mares valued at $30, $ 50 and $15. He did own a
barouche and harness....$25 and an assortment of plows, harrows, etc.
Any thoughts on the use of these horses would be greatly appreciated.
