From "History of Pike County, Mississippi" page 118, Holmesville:
"At the foot of Main Street, near the river, two men from Virginia, Horatio and Asa Wingo, club-footed twins, lived, built a hotel, barroom and ten pin alley. Horatio married Miss. Brent and Asa married Mrs. Guinea. They were rough men and great fighters, and they were always in it side by side together. Their deformed feet necessating perfectly round shoes, and their weight thrown on the ankles made it difficult to stand still, and in walking they had to be supported by sticks, good-sized hickory clubs, which they used in their personal encounters.
In 1859, while Robert Bacot was Sheriff, Ralph Summers, a Negro slave belonging to Jack Summers, the tanner, was killed by Green Wingo, a slave owned by Asa Wingo, for which the latter was hung after trial by jury in the circuit court. This killing occurred on the public road near the plantation of Andrew Kaigler, across the river from Holmesville"
The Mississippi State Auditor issued warrant for $850 to Asa R. Wingo, guardian of the heirs of Thomas Guinea, late of Pike County, Mississippi for one half value of the Negro slave named Green, belonging to the Estate, who was executed for murder of another slave named Ralph without the courts directing the Sheriff to summon five slaveholders to appraise the Negro in accordance with the law. 40'th Session, Jan. 1860, p. 270
