Hi Dave, I suspect that most (all?) of Brier's rabbits now have at least one of Wickerson Lent's domestic rabbits as their ancestor. As you'll know, but others may not, Wickerson was a long time lighthouse keeper on the island. For a number of years after he retired off the island I would see some of his large, domestic rabbits hopping around North Point. As Randy has suggested, the original stock is Snowshoe Hare rather than Cottontail.
