Barnum Alexander Sustare+wife Sarah Amanda Ferguson,his twin James Ervin Sistar+Mary Jane Fergerson info

Photography credit: Aufenger Studios, Norfolk, Virginia, made probably when they were visiting their son Beverly Townsend Sustare who lived in Norfolk, Virginia, which could have been made at the time of Barnum's great granddaughter's wedding, Nancy Chester Sutton, marrying Robert William Sutton , on June 8, 1940, which would have made him age 78 at that time and Sarah would have been age 73.

Surname choice and use of each identical twin brother.

Each of the twin sons, Barnum and Ervin, may have chosen to spell their last name different from each other so that they could establish a more separate identity. Barnum Alexander chose or used the surname Sustare, but his identical twin brother Ervin Alexander chose or used the surname Sustar. Carol Lorraine Sutton.
