Siamese Twins

The term Siamese Twins comes from what are probably the most famous pair, Chang and Eng Bunker (1811–1874), Chinese brothers born in Siam, now Thailand. The term is frequently used as a synonym for conjoined twins. Chang and Eng were joined by a band of cartilage at the chest (xiphopagus). In modern times, they could be easily separated. For many years they traveled with the Barnum Circus. In the 1840s they married sisters Sarah and Adelaide Yates of North Carolina and purchased two adjoining farm properties just west of Mount Airy, North Carolina. Together they fathered between 20 and 23 children (accounts vary, and in any case, many of the children died in early childhood). The twins would spend three days at one farm then three days at the second farm. They owned slaves and during the American Civil War many of their descendants fought for the Confederacy. In January of 1874, Chang, who was a heavy drinker and had fallen ill with pneumonia, died during the night. Eng also died within a few hours, surrounded by his and his brother's families. Many of their descendants still live in the Mount Airy area.
