There are three distinct historic families within the Morgan breed. Both the Lambert and the Government families go directly back to Sherman Morgan on their sire line. The Woodbury family goes directly back to Woodbury on their sire line. The Lambert families'foundation stallion was Daniel Lambert, foaled in 1858. The Woodbury families' foundation stallion was Green Mountain Morgan, foaledin 1832. And the Government family foundation stallion was General Gates foaled in 1894. Although the Government's sire line isdifferent from the Lambert's, both go directly back to Sherman Morgan.The three Morgan families share many common ancestors although the blood of Sherman is by far the most predominate. Even the Morgans with the highest percent of Woodbury blood have more than 50% Sherman blood. The Lamberts and the Woodbury's have the highest percentage of Justin Morgan's blood.

TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE LAMBERTS FROM THE 1800's
|
"A man can live two or three years in twenty minutes, driving a horse like that!' I once heard a fur-clad New England enthusiast exclaim as, with a jingle of bells and a clattering of hoofs on the floor his LAMBERT MARE dashed into the stable after an hour or two of impromptu racing on the snowpath. H. C. Merwin
"I saw DANIEL LAMBERT at the Rutland Fair, rapidly led by his leader. I WAS DEEPLY INTERESTED TO SEE HIS MARVELOUS HIND LEGS PROPEL HIM AHEAD. It was a striking exhibition of an extant ancestor among many of his descendants."
Moses Chence 1890
