Entitled: "The Murays Midgets, tripplet brothers, age 19 years." Very little is known about the Murray brothers (John, James and Joseph). They were billed as triplets when exhibited at Barnum's American Museum, but according to an 1880 newspaper article they were brothers, but not triplets, born in New York between 1860 and 1870. The smallest of the brothers stood 37 inches tall; the tallest 42. Their mother was their manager and toured with them.
