They went to England and performed at the Surrey as well as other places returning to New York in early 1841. They subsequently performed together at the Bowery and then performed at various Circus's they oerformed with the Welches and Mann and for Spaulding and with Stone and McCollum on the Mississippi and Ohio…

I am very interested in hearing from any one who has knowledge about these two in particular, but also about early blackface performance between 1836 and 1853.<br />

Thanks for your support,<br />

<p>Tell us about any withdrawal or residual effects too...</p>
