The Perricone Quadruplets Documentary Timeline | Four Brothers, One Story

Born in Beaumont, Texas, on Halloween in 1929, Anthony, Bernard, Carl and Donald Perricone became known as the Perricone Quadruplets or the Alphabet Quads. They were the second documented set of quadruplets born in the United States and the first known surviving male quadruplets in the world. This documentary timeline follows the four brothers from their extraordinary birth and childhood fame to their first day of school, military service and deployment during the Korean War. Despite rules that normally kept brothers out of the same combat unit, the Perricones received permission to serve together. All four returned home, worked at the Pure Oil Refinery and later built homes near one another on a private road called Quad Lane. The video also explores their close family bond, the losses of Bernard, Donald and Anthony, Carl’s return to South Korea as the final surviving brother, and the conclusion of their remarkable story in 2025. This video has been carefully created through extensive personal research conducted by the Chrono Icons team using publicly available and reliable historical sources.
