BIOGRAPHIES: Charles Sherwood Stratton (1838 – 1883), better known by his stage name "General Tom Thumb", was an American with Dwarfism who achieved great fame as a performer under circus pioneer P. T. Barnum. He is considered by many to be among the greatest preforming artists in American history as well as the most accomplished little people. Mercy Lavinia Warren Stratton (née Bump, 1841–1919) was an American proportionate dwarf, who was a circus performer and the wife of Charles Sherwood Stratton (known as General Tom Thumb). She was known as a performer and for her appearance in silent films. George Washington Morrison Nutt (1848 – 1881), better known by his stage name Commodore Nutt, was an American dwarf and an entertainer associated with P. T. Barnum. In 1861, Nutt was touring New England with a circus when Barnum hired him to appear at the American Museum in New York City. Barnum gave Nutt the stage name Commodore Nutt, a wardrobe that included naval uniforms, and a miniature carriage in the shape of an English walnut. Nutt became one of the museum's major attractions.Huldah Pierce Warren Bump (1849 – 1878),[1] better known as Minnie Warren, was an American proportionate dwarf and an entertainer associated with P. T. Barnum. Her sister Lavinia Warren was married to General Tom Thumb. They were very well known in 1860s America and their meeting with Abraham Lincoln was covered in the press.
