"They were joined at thesternum by a small piece of cartilage. Their liverswere fused but independently complete."
Born in the early 1800s, they graduated from being a curiosity tour attraction to having normal lives, including moving to the United States, marrying two sisters and having slaves.
Due to disagreements between the wives, they eventually had to live in separate households (they split their time between them). Their sons even ended up serving in the Confederate Army during the Civil War.
