My great grandmother left a will saying she was leaving a light black horse with a star on it's face , to her grandson Joseph Rian Waldrop in 1888, he was seventeen years old. The name of the horse was "Cilam" has anyone ever heard of this name. Does it have a meaning, Is it Indian. It's an odd name to name a horse and I was just wondering if anyone in Alabama might know. My great grandpapa lived with his family in Escatawpa, Washington County, Alabama. There was an oil painting of my great grandpapa named Dr. Joseph R. Waldrop, he was standing by this tall black horse with a star on it's face. I though there might be a meaning behind the name.. Thanks for any help.
