short answer = yes.  there's a letter to his mother, describing an incident,
circa 1878.

Here's Sankey, from his autobiography, some time after 1882, probably the
80s for sure(google it, on-line)):

At Hartford, which we next visited, Mark Twain attended several of our
meetings. On one occasion P. T. Barnum, the famous showman, attended and
remained for an inquiry meeting, where it was my privilege to speak to him
in regard to his spiritual condition. In our conversation he said: ”Mr.
Sankey, you go on singing ' The Ninety and Nine,' and when you get that lost
sheep in the fold we will all be saved. ”I afterward learned that he was a
Universalist.

(no idea where he got the impression MT was a universalist, or what that
might have meant precisely at that time.)

ps -- nice nearby anecdote:

For the next six months we conducted meetings in the churches of St. Louis.
Able assistance was, rendered by the Rev. J. H. Brookes and other eminent
ministers. At one of the inquiry meetings I asked a fine-looking man as he
was leaving the meeting, if he was a Christian. ”No,” he replied, ”I am a
Missourian."
