In The American phrenological journal, vol. 28 (Sept., 1858), p. 40. |

“These persons resemble each other very strongly, more especially Mrs. Bushnell and Grennell. Though it is not always the
case that twins and triplets resemble each other in appearance and character, yet it is more common for them to do so than
it is for those of single birth, because the parents in cases of twins transmit characteristics to the progeny from one given
condition of body and of mind….”--P. 40.
