Byrd's Old Calista
Which of these two alternate dams is correct. PQ has Carter's Black Joke as dam. Sport Horse Breed database has a Silvereye mare out of Carter's Mare.

Re: Byrd's Old Calista
The old pedigrees are hardly unambiguous on the subj. of Old Calista but Carter's Black Joke is more plausible as her dam than a Silvereye mare for which the only basis known to me is Bruce's flawed (see Harrison, EATS 1:120) entry ASB 1:711 for the tf of Camillus 1773.
