Records about Barney (Moton) from William "Buckles" Woodcocks Blog at http://www.bucklesw.blogspot.com/
"There was a "Moton" with H-W in 1926 but was only with the show one season and was sold to a zoo. However he resurfaced in 1935 with the newly framed Cole Bros. Circus where his name was changed to "Barney".
