Records about Timour from A History of the Traveling Menagerie at https://classic.circushistory.org/Thayer/Thayer2b.htm
Grand Caravan of Living Animals (probably French, Hobby & Co):

The The elephants would appear to be Columbus and Timour, one full-grown, the other two years old and three-feet high. With these, this 1831 caravan became the first to exhibit two elephants at the same time.

Columbus went elsewhere for 1832 and Timour, “the youngest elephant ever imported,” was the only pachyderm on the show.
