Young Wynyard (2,859) by Robert Colling's Wellington (680) out of Princess by Phenomenon (491), was bred by the Countess of Antrim, widow of Sir Henry Vane Tempest.

The ancient family of the Aislabies, which came into England from Normandy with William the Conqueror, established themselves, prior to 1300, at Aislabie, on the river Tees, in the county of Durham, and the manor, their estate, was called after the family. As early as 1600, the family was known to possess a most extraordinary tribe of cattle. In the reign of Charles I., the then Lord of the Manor married the daughter and heir of Sir John Mallorie of Studley, in Yorkshire, and on the death of Sir John, the daughter, Mrs. Aislabie, succeeded to the ownership of the Studley estate. Mrs. Aislabie and her husband went to reside at Studley, while the younger branch of the Aislabie family continued to reside at Aislabie. Finally in 1684 the younger branch of the Aislabie family parted with their estates in Durham. At the time Sir John Mallorie's daughter, Mrs. Aislabie, took possession of Studley, the cattle of Aislabie were in part transferred from Durham to Yorkshire, and the remainder in 1684.

Prior to 1684, the Pennimans of Ormsby, in Yorkshire, had procured cows, and had used bulls from Aislabie; and after 1684 used bulls from Studley. In 1684, Mr. Stephenson of Acklam, near Ormsby, bought a cow from Mr. Aislabie, just before the sale of the Durham estates and the transference of the cattle thence to Studley. After 1684, he sent cows to Studley to be served, and used bulls from Studley in possession of the Pennimans. In 1731, Mr. Stephenson, junior, (son of the one named before,) removed from Acklam to Ketton in Durham, and took with him the cattle descended from the original cow got at Aislabie; and he took no others than those so descended in the female line only.

About 1700, a Miss Aislabie of Studley, married Mr. Milbank of the Barmingham family of Barmingham, in Yorkshire, and through this marriage cattle from Studley went to Barmingham. From Barmingham, Mr. Sharter of Chilton, near Ketten, got cows, and hired bulls, and from them bred the celebrated Studley bull, (626).

Mr. Pickering lived at Foxton, near Ketton. In 1739 Mr. Stephenson of Ketton, sold to Mr. Pickering a young cow and her heifer calf, descended on the dam side from the Aislabie tribe of cattle. Mr. Pickering used the Studley bull, and out of the heifer got from Mr. Stephenson of Ketton, when she became a cow, bred in the year 1748, the cow Tripes. In 1756, Mr. Pickering sold Tripes to Mr. John Hall of Haughton. Mr. Hall bred Beauty got by Harrison's bull (292), out of Tripes; and out of Beauty he bred Duchess of Atholl, got by Masterman's bull, (422). Mr. Alexander Hall, on the death of John Hall, his brother, succeeded to his estate; and he bred Brighteyes by Snowdon's bull, (619), out of Duchess of Atholl; and out of Brighteyes by Snowdon's bull he bred Brighteyes by Hubback. Brighteyes by Hubback was sold by A. Hall to Robert Colling. Robert Colling bred Brighteyes by Favorite, (252), out of Brighteyes by Hubback, and out of her Princess by Favorite. Princess was sold by him to Sir Henry Vane Tempest of Wynyard. Sir Henry bred Anna Boleyne by Favorite, (252), out of Princess; and Angelina by Phenomenon (492), out of Anna Boleyne. Sir Henry died in 1813, and his widow, the countess of Antrim, bred in 1816, Anna by Lawnsleeves (365), out of Angelina. In 1818 she sold Angelina to Mr. John Stephenson of Wolviston, great grandson of the first Mr. Stephenson of Ketton. All the sires and dams in the pedigrees of these imported cattle which were bred by Mr. John Stephenson, occurring after Angelina, were bred by him.

Such is the history of these cattle. I think the portraits of 3rd Duke of Cambridge and Princess III will be admitted by those who have
