DURHAM BULL of DAVID YORK by David Barker  David Barker (1816-1874)(Born in Exeter, Maine) had a collection of his poems printed in 1876 in Bangor, Maine by John E. Godfrey. One of the poems had the following lines referring to Dolly Peavey (daughter of John S. and Sally Peavey) and her grandfather, David York's Durham bull. I strutted with a peacock's air As I told my sweet Almira there How I and Dolly Peavey ran And how I ran the faster; When old York's Durham roared and pawed, As we went through the pasture Contributed by Mark Kulow |
