Orcland Vigildon was standing at the Townsend (Townshend Morgan farm in Bolton, MA when we used to go see him.

I also didn't know he was bred by the Orcott family. I'm making a strong guess that the Orcutts who used to come to the restaurant are closely related, based on geography (one of them lives one town over from West Newbury) and involvement with horses.
