	Mr. Archilles Euba~jc was th(3 1ar~est slave holder of his day, Mr. Colby

Quisenberry was second, in Clarks County.

	“The story is told that at the time of General Morgan‘s last raid

on Winchester, an old faithful slave of Dr. Hubbard Taylor, (a noted Physician all over this portion of Kentuoky at this time) who was always careful of his master‘s interosts, and without the oonsent of his master, saved his-very fine riding horse, “Black Prince“ from being pressed into service of the Confederates. Ab (the slaves name) learned that Morgan‘s men were good judges of horse flesh and had taken s everal horses just as the Federals did when they needed them and he determined to conceal prince, whose groom he was. He put him there in the smoke house along with the meat, but Prince pawed and macle disturbances unti 1 he t ook him out and t ook him to the o e liar ~e rsuading him to descend the steps and left him there. He came up to hear that several horses had beentaken from the cellars of the men, then he hastened back to get Black Prince. He brought him out of the cellar and took him to the 1~u~dry room and sa-b there with him conversing him to keep him quite until all danger passed. When Prince became restless and wanted to paw his way out, old Ab would say, “Now Prince, you quit dat you‘s in danger or being taken by the bad soldiers.~ Old Prince would stop instantly and listen to his groom.“
