Nancy - Thanks for your reply.James L. Hutchinson joined with Barnum & Bailey (as an owner) in 1881; he only stayed a short time.See following website: www.ringling.com/history/barnum/page2.html
I also found an old book, "The Pictorial History of the American Circus" by John & Alice Durant (1957).It has a poster (showing a small picture of Hutchinson) and a sketch of the Bridgeport winter quarters circus buildings, with owners' names on the roof.I have no idea where Bridgeport is.
I am waiting for more details on this family from my daugher-in-law, whose family is connected somehow. I will write more when I get an e-mail from her or her parents.Wouldn't it be fun to find a missing son from your family!
