Tvinsburg.Takim Millsvil (Millsville) became Twinsburg.
Moses and Aaron Wilcox,
according to the testimony, were so identical that only the closest friends
could tell them apart. They were business partners throughout life. They did
not share the property, married sisters, they had the same number of children,
they get sick the same fatal disease, and both died within a few hours. They
are buried in the same grave in the cemetery of Locust Grove Cemetery
Twinsburg.
Twins are of great interest to
scientists. Here for 2-3 days of the festival, researchers sometimes get
information so that under normal conditions over the years do not gather. No
wonder the organizers of the festival established the position of Director of

gynecology at the University of North-Western Luis Keith Center for the Study
of multiple births.
