This will probably be of more interest to Gary and Joe than to everyone,but I wanted to offer you all a chance to see this information. It goesback to the origin of the Barnum and Bailey Circus which we were lookinginto about a year ago.
The research on the originators of that circus seemed rather convincingand it appeared that Phineas T. Barnum and James A. McGinness were thefounders, the latter changing his name to James A. Bailey. But I havecome up with some information tha t raises the issue once more.
Back when we were discussing this before I thought the Bailey responsiblefor that name being part of the company, I thought it was a HezekiahBailey that was involved. Now I am looking at Hackaliah Bailey ratherthan Hezekiah. There is no questio n but what Hachaliah was the New Yorkfarmer who purchased an elephant, "Old Bet," in 1812, and made enoughmoney exhibiting that beast to open his own circus. But was he aco-founder of Barnum and Bailey?
You might be asking why we should care. Well it's because Hachaliah wasa Halstead descendant. He was the grandson of Abigail Halstead whomarried Hackaliah Brown, III. Her daughter, Anne Brown, married JamesBailey, and Hachaliah Bailey was thei r son. Thus, if this HachaliahLyman Bailey was a co-founder, then his ancestry can be traced right backto Jonas.
"Occupation 1842 Co-Founded Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey Circus"
"Residence - The circus animals were housed in barns on Joseph L. Purdy'sproperty, just to the east of the house. The house is locatedimmediately north of the present village of Purdys, just east of thehighway and railway station, on the north si de of the river. There is ahill behind the property (the original land area; Purdy's etc. is in theriver valley) extending east to the Titicus Reservoir. Joseph owned atleast 1000 acres here. The family now owns about 20 acres, including thehou se, which it leases. On the south side of the river is Titicus Riverroad which turns into Hill's Road. It passes to the south of thereservoir, and at the edge of the road is the Mill's Road Cemetery.Only a few stones are readable; some are Purdy ."
(By explanation, Hachaliah was married to Mary Rafter Purdy and residedon his land close to Purdy, Westchester Co., NY, which is close to Somerin Westchester county.)
Lewis Bailey, son of Hachaliah has this entry for his occupation:
"Occupation - Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey Circus"
Certainly there is enough here to show that Hachaliah was involved withthe Barnum and Bailey Circus, but as to being a co-founder that remainsunproven as far as I am concerned, but he could well have been from thestandpoint of being a financial ba cker. The record states he was aco-founder in 1842. At that time he was 67 years of age and died threeyears later at the age of seventy.
But there is one major flaw. Look at the date on the material Gary dugup a year ago:
"One of these large circuses was Barnum's circus, started in 1871 by P.T. Barnum and two partners. The next year, the show toured the countryon from 60 to 70 railroad cars. In 1881, Barnum joined his show withJames A. Bailey's circus. Beginnin g in 1888, it operated under the nameof Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth."*
* "World Book 2001 on CD"
In 1871 Hachaliah had been in his grave for 26 years, and by 1881 and1888, well I think you can see where that is headed. I think more likelythat Phineas T., if he had anything to do with Hachaliah, it may havebeen as a portege, and that the Bail ey family definitely were pioneers inthe circus business. And Hachaliah's son, Lewis, may have played somemajor factor in the business, but the whole thing requires more researchthan I can accomplish from this distance. I do not think we havesuc cessfully laid this matter to rest.
One thought that I have had is that researches on the Bailey line, uponfinding that Hachaliah made a lifelong career of owning and operating acircus, assumed that he was the Bailey of Barnum and Bailey, and bywishing made it so.
