Millie and Christine McCoy, “The Carolina Twins,” born in 1851.

“North Carolina merchant Joseph Pearson Smith purchased Millie-Christine’s parents and family from the McCoys and his wife taught them how to read and write and sing and dance. They became fluent in five languages and were accomplished pianists, singers, and dancers who toured the world. They were frequently billed as “The Two-Headed Nightingale” after their beautiful singing voices. In 1869, the twins issued their autobiography, “History and Medical Description of the Two-Headed Girl,” which was purchasable for $.25 at their public appearances.”
