BARNUM, Simon and Nathan in Kansas

I am tracing the families of two brothers, originally Simon and Nathan BACHARACH, born in Germany, 1842 and 1844 respectively. They immigrated to Philadelphia, then opened a clothing store in Union City, Indiana, where I believe they changed their last name to BARNUM. They both eventually went to Kansas: Simon to Topeka and Nathan to Newton. They also owned clothing stores in Kansas. These families have no connection to Anglo Barnum families, as they were German Jewish immigrants in the 1850s. Simon Bacharach/Barnum also lived at one time in Fayetteville, NC.

If you know anything about these Barnums, please contact me. I have a large amount of information on their ancestors and collateral lines.
