Text as picture scanned from the Sistare records:

Repeat of text:

"James Ervin Sistare and Barnum Alexander Sistare were identical twin sons of J. Hiram Sistare and his wife, Holly Elizabeth Hemby Sistare. They were born on a farm in Lancaster County, South Carolina, January 10, 1862. They had two older brothers, Taylor Hemby Sistare and John Thomas Sistare, and one sister, Matilda Jane. Their father went away to war on July 21, 1862, and died near Wincester, Virginia, exactly three months later. The widowed young mother had a hard struggle providing for her five children. They moved from South Carolina to North Carolina about 1774 (?). In North Carolina their family name was mis-spelled "Sustar" and "Sustare". The twins became prosperous farmers and good citizens in Mecklenburg county. They helped to build schools and served on school boards. Both served as deacons in the Baptist Church for many years.

Ervin married Mary Jane Ferguson and Barnum married her sister, Sarah Amanda Ferguson. (Daughters of James R. Ferguson and his wife, Martha Ellen Williams Ferguson.) Ervin and "Jinny" had nine children, Barnum and Amanda had eight. Ervin died August 15, 1931, and Barnum died March 13, 1951. They were buried in Mount Harmony Baptist Church Cemetery, near Matthews, North Carolina."

SPELLING OF SURNAMES: Although the two twins are both listed as going by the surname of "SISTARE" in the text above. They, at least during their adult lives went by these surnames: Sustar and Sustare.

James Ervin used the surname of Sustar, or James Ervin Sustar.

Note there is NO "e" at the end.

And his twin used the name:

Barnum Alexander used the surnameof Sustare, or Barnum Alexander Sustare.

Note: Barnum used the "e" on the ending of SUSTARE.

The two indentical twins used the different surname spelling in order to distinguish themself from one another, by name, as by looks, they were the same.
