  • Trivia
    Married the widow who owned Calumet Farm, the most famous Kentucky horse racing stable. This made him the proprietor and a very happy man at the time of his death, as he probably loved race horses more than women, and from the list of his wives he apparently loved women a great deal. One of Calumet Farm's horses, a Filly named Our Mims, was named after his daughter.
