Presidential Child. He was the third child and son of US President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. Named for Mary Lincoln's brother-in-law Dr. William Wallace, he and his younger brother Thomas (Tad) were rambunctious children during the time they lived in Springfield, Illinois, recorded by Abraham's law partner William Herndon for turning their law office upside down, pulling the books off the shelves, while their father appeared oblivious to their behavior. After Abraham Lincoln was elected US President in 1860, the family moved into the White House the following year and it became the children's new playground. In early 1862 he and Tad both became ill. The most likely cause of the illness was typhoid fever, which was usually contracted by consumption of fecally contaminated food or water. Tad managed to recover, but Willie's condition fluctuated from day to day. His condition worsened and he finally succumbed on February 20, 1862 at the age of 11. Both parents were deeply affected by his death. His father did not return to work for three weeks and Tad cried for nearly a month because they were very close. Mary became so distraught that Lincoln feared for her sanity. Dr. Charles Brown, who perfected of the technique of embalming, was called to the White House and prepared the remains. He lay in state in the Green Room which adjoins the East Room where a private service was conducted by the pastor of The Washington New York Avenue Presbyterian Church and he was interred at Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown, Washington DC. The Lincolns were so pleased by the preservation achieved by Dr. Brown that he was disinterred twice so that they could again view his remains. After Lincoln's assassination in 1865, his remains were exhumed and were placed on the Presidential funeral train with his father and interred in a temporary tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. In September 1871 when Lincoln's permanent tomb was finished at Oak Ridge Cemetery, he was placed alongside the remains of his father and his brothers Tad and Eddie. (bio by: William Bjornstad)

16th United States President. As newly elected Abraham Lincoln made his way by train to Washington to assume the Presidency, the Union was fast disintegrating with secession by South Carolina followed by seven other Southern States. A Confederate government was already operating in the South. After taking the oath of office with outgoing President Buchanan beside him, he assumed the responsibility for preserving the Union by reversing secession. The South demanded the Union withdraw from the forts in the South. Lincoln was firm, he denied the right of states to secede and declared that the Federal Government would hold, occupy and possess its forts and properties. Fort Sumter was attacked, the five year Civil war had begun. During the first year and a half of conflict, neither the North nor the South had the advantage. The third year of war was the turning point as the North scored a victory at Gettysburg while conquering Vicksburg. The South became weaker and weaker. When President Lincoln took the oath of office for his second term, the end of the war was in sight and within a month the surrender of the South took place at Appomattox. Abraham Lincoln was born to American pioneers: his father Thomas Lincoln had come from Virginia to live in Kentucky where he met a girl named Nancy Hanks. After their marriage, the young couple set up house keeping in a log cabin at Nolin Creek, in Hardin County where the future President was born. At the age of nine his mother died. His father quickly brought home a new wife, Sara, who was instrumental in her stepson's learning to read and continued pursuit of self education. He developed a great and lasting affection for his step mother. The Lincoln family would move four times before settling in another log cabin in Coles County, Illinois. Abe always in conflict with his father over his passion for learning and with the many Lincoln children crowded in the family cabin, moved to nearby New Salem taking a job in a frontier dry goods store. The village schoolmaster tutored him in mathematics and grammar. His political career began with election to the state Legislature which met in nearby Springfield twice a year. John Stuart, a lawyer impressed by Lincoln, invited him to read law in his Springfield office, eventually the two became partners. The opening of the Legislature was marked by a Grand Ball resulting in his meeting Mary Todd, Stuart's cousin which culminated in marriage some three years later. Abe was able to purchase a house in Springfield which remained the Lincoln's family home until the death of Mary. He was active in politics and received a nomination for Congress and was elected. After one term, he returned to Springfield and resumed his law practice. He became a member of the new Republican party and was nominated for Senator from Illinois running against a Democratic opponent Stephen A. Douglas which set up the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates. Lincoln was not elected but became well known and above all the undisputed leader of the Republican party in Illinois. A few years later, he would again face the victorious Douglas for the Presidency and emerge victorious. Lincoln was instrumental in many achievements besides preserving the Union by a bloody war during his tenure in office. He was instrumental in building the transcontinental telegraph system and authorized the construction of the transcontinental railroad to be built by private persons while giving them huge parcels of land along the right of way. He promoted a bill in Congress which set aside areas in new states where free colleges could be built (Land Grant Colleges). He pushed a bill through Congress called the Homestead Act. Any family that settled on a farm could own the land after five years of improvement. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring wherever Union troops moved into the seceding states, the slaves would automatically become free forever. Then came the tragedy - While sitting in his box at Ford's theater, he was shot by a an actor resulting in death the next day. His demise triggered a funeral extravaganza, one the country had never seen before. After a service and procession down Pennsylvania Avenue, Lincoln's embalmed body, along with that of his son Willie (disinterred from a Washington Cemetery) was placed aboard a Funeral Train for the trip home to Springfield which reversed Lincoln's original inaugural train route taken when he assumed the Presidency. Sixteen days later with arrival in Springfield, the odyssey had come to a merciful end. At Oakridge Cemetery, the remains of Willie and the President were placed in a temporary vault. Son Eddie was disinterred later from a nearby grave and also placed in the temporary chamber. Epilogue: Tragedy befell the Lincoln family at every turn: Eddie died at four-1850; Willie at eleven-1862 and Thomas at eighteen-1871 and Mary, insane, followed in 1882. But Robert lived until 1926 and was alive and present in 1922 to witness the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. The things that remain of President Lincoln, are countless memorials, namesake places, photos on money and artifacts. However the family tree is dead, killed by tragedies, untimely deaths, insanity, lawsuits, fake heirs and even a genetic disease. The last heir, his great-grandson, Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, died on Christmas Eve in 1985. Any direct descendant could have inherited Beckwith's fortune, it's worth estimated at $3 million. It has since gone to charity.

Death: Jul. 16, 1882-Springfield,Sangamon County,Illinois, USA

Presidential First Lady. She was the wife of 16th US President Abraham Lincoln and was the First Lady from March 1861 until April 1865. Born the fourth of seven children into an affluent family, her father was a banker and the family owned slaves. At the age of six her mother died and her father remarried and had nine additional children. She attended Madame Mantelle's finishing school at an early age where she learned to speak French fluently and studied dance, drama, music, and social graces. By age 20, she was regarded as witty and gregarious, with a grasp of politics. In October 1839 she moved to Springfield, Illinois and lived with her oldest sister, Elizabeth Porter Edwards, who was married to Ninian W. Edwards, the son of a former Illinois governor, and he served as her guardian. She was popular among the gentry of Springfield, and though she was courted by the rising young lawyer and Democratic Party politician Stephen A. Douglas and others, she chose to marry Abraham Lincoln, a rising circuit lawyer, in November 1842. Her husband became famous for his position on slavery, which generated national support for him. During her White House years, she faced many personal difficulties generated by political divisions within the nation. Several of her half-brothers served in the Confederate Army and were killed in action, and one brother served the Confederacy as a surgeon. Her second son Eddie, had died of tuberculosis in 1850 and her third son William (Willie), died of typhoid fever in the White House in 1862. She had difficulty negotiating White House social responsibilities and rivalries, spoils-seeking solicitors, and baiting newspapers in a climate of high national intrigue in Civil War Washington. She refurbished the White House, which included extensive redecorating of all the public and private rooms as well as the purchase of new china, which led to extensive over expenditures. The president was very angry over the cost, even though Congress eventually passed two additional appropriations to cover these expenses. She suffered from severe headaches, described as migraines, throughout her adult life, as well as protracted depression. Her headaches became more frequent after she suffered a head injury in a carriage accident during her White House years. A history of mood swings, fierce temper, public outbursts throughout Lincoln's presidency, as well as excessive spending, has led some historians and psychologists to speculate that she possibly suffered from bipolar disorder. She often visited hospitals around Washington to give flowers and fruit to wounded soldiers and took the time to write letters for them to send to their loved ones. On occasion, she accompanied Lincoln on military visits to the field. On Friday, April 14, 1865, she sat with her husband watching the comic play "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre. The Civil War had just ended five days earlier with the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox, Virginia. During the performance, John Wilkes Booth sneaked into the booth where they were seated and shot her husband in the back of the head. She accompanied her mortally wounded husband across the street to the Petersen House, where he was taken to a back bedroom and laid crosswise on the bed there, where Lincoln's Cabinet was summoned. He died early the following morning and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton ordered her to leave the room as she was so overcome with grief. After his national funeral that took place at different locations across the country and internment in Springfield, Illinois, she returned to Illinois and lived in Chicago with her sons Robert and Thomas (Tad). In July 1870 the US Congress granted her an annual life pension in the amount of $3,000 for which she lobbied hard to obtain. At the time it was unprecedented for widows of presidents to receive a government pension, and she had alienated many congressmen, making it difficult for her to gain approval. The death of her son Thomas (Tad) in July 1871, brought on an overpowering grief and depression and her surviving son, Robert Lincoln, a rising young Chicago lawyer, was alarmed at his mother's increasingly erratic behavior. After nearly jumped out of a window to escape a non-existent fire, Robert determined that she should be institutionalized and in May 1875 he committed her to Bellevue Place, a private asylum in Batavia, Illinois. Three months after being committed, she devised her escape. She smuggled letters to her lawyer, James B. Bradwell, and his wife Myra Bradwell, who was not only her friend but a feminist lawyer and fellow spiritualist. She also wrote to the editor of the Chicago Times concerning her plight and soon, the public embarrassments that Robert had hoped to avoid were looming, and his character and motives were in question, as he controlled his mother's finances. She had a trial to determine if she was capable of being released. The director of Bellevue had assured the jury she would benefit from treatment at his facility. However, in the face of potentially damaging publicity, he declared her well enough to go to Springfield, Illinois to live with her sister Elizabeth as she desired and In 1876 she was declared competent to manage her own affairs. Following the court proceedings, she was so enraged that she attempted suicide. She went to the hotel pharmacist and ordered enough laudanum to kill herself, but he realized her intent and gave her a placebo instead. The committal proceedings had resulted in her being profoundly estranged from her son Robert, and they did not reconcile until shortly before her death. She spent the next four years traveling throughout Europe and took up residence in Pau, France. Her final years were marked by declining health. She suffered from severe cataracts that reduced her eyesight that may have contributed to her increasing susceptibility to falls. In 1879 she suffered spinal cord injuries in a fall from a stepladder. She returned to the US and during the early 1880s she was confined to the Springfield, Illinois residence of her sister Elizabeth. On July 16, 1882, she collapsed at her sister's home and lapsed into a coma and died there at the age of 63. She has been portrayed by several actresses in film, including Julie Harris in "The Last of Mrs. Lincoln," a 1976 television adaptation of the stage play, Mary Tyler Moore in the 1988 television mini-series "Lincoln" (1988), Sally Field in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" (2012), Penelope Ann Miller in "Saving Lincoln" (2012), and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" (2012). Several biographies have been written about her as well, including Barbara Hambly's The Emancipator's Wife (2005) and Janis Cooke Newman's historical novel "Mary: Mrs. A. Lincoln" (2007).

Biography
A son of Abraham and Bathsheba Lincoln, Thomas very probably did NOT have Herring as middle name. In 1998, Paul H. Verduin - then General Secretary of the Abraham Lincoln Institute of the Mid-Atlantic and a noted authority on President Lincoln's antecedents - pointed out two crucial items concerning Bathsheba Lincoln's maiden name. In a letter dated 13 October 1998, Verduin noted that : (1) the name Herring has not been found on any document relating to Bathsheba; and (2) the "tale was invented in 1908, some 140 years after her marriage to President Lincoln's grandfather, by the daughter of one of the co-authors of the highly flawed study of the Lincoln genealogy which appeared at that time". Verduin wrote further that the daughter "visited Rockingham County that summer and enticed a story from a couple of individuals named Chrisman. The tale had never been heard before [1908], and there's absolutely no evidence for it. I've searched high and low, but haven't found the answer - and it may well be that none is available from any extant records."[1]
On 12 June 1806, Thomas Lincoln married Nancy Hanks in Washington County, Kentucky.[2], She was born on 5 February 1784 and died on 5 October 1818. On 2 December 1819, Thomas married Sarah Bush, widow of Daniel Johnson. She was born on 13 December 1788 and died on 12 April 1869. Thomas predeceased Sarah on 17 January 1851 in Cole County, Illinois, where he had lived for twenty years.
Issue: Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, an only son, who in 1854 was of Springfield, aged 45, and had three children, the eldest of whom was 11 years of age. His wife was born and raised in Kentucky. He was born 12 February 1809.
The ancestry of Abraham Lincoln's mother Nancy Hanks has always been somewhat of a mystery. For over a century, historians and genealogists have repeatedly made claims that they have finally solved the mystery of Lincoln's mother, and that everyone before them was wrong. They claim to be able to "prove the truth!" All of these theories regarding Nancy’s ancestry have been “documented” mainly through circumstantial evidence and oral traditions. There are very few primary documents remaining. The one thing that can be proven about Nancy’s origins is that no one can prove the truth, at least not yet.

Nancy Hanks Lincoln heritage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Depiction of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, courtesy of Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial
There is long standinghttps://www.familysearch.org/search/linker?pal=/ark:/61903/1:1:N7KZ-176&id=KCJX-VFJ&hinting=%2Ftree%2Fperson%2Fdetails%2FKCJX-VFJ&icid=ft-hinting controversy regarding Nancy Hanks Lincoln's heritage. Nancy was the wife of Thomas Lincoln and mother of the 16th president Abraham Lincoln. Her familial background according to historian Albert J. Beveridge is as "Dim as the dream of a shifting mirage... her face and figure waver through the mists of time and rumor."[1]

There are two dominant theories about Nancy's maternal heritage:

Historians generally believe that Nancy Hanks was the illegitimate daughter of Lucy Hanks, born into the Joseph Hanks family and married into the Sparrow family.[2][3] There is no generally accepted theory about who Nancy's father may have been.
Information from the Shipley and Berry families, as well as some historical sites, claim that Nancy's mother was Lucy or Lucey Shipley, sister to Rachel Shipley Berry. Nancy's father may have been James Hanks.
A recent mitochondrial DNA test of descendants of daughters of Joseph Hanks, daughters of Lucy Hanks Sparrow, and two Shipley sisters show a match between Hanks and Sparrow and no match to the Shipleys, making it certain Nancy Hanks is the illegitimate daughter of Lucy Hanks, and that Lucy is the daughter of Ann "Nanny" Lee Hanks.

Robert Parker served as a major during the Revolutionary War. After his married on March 10, 1789 to Elizabeth Porter, the couple traveled to Kentucky. There, Robert was one of the group of men who founded the city of Lexington. He built a large brick home on Short Street. He and his wife had six children: four sons and two daughters. Their daughter Eliza Parker married Robert Smith Todd and was the mother of Mary Ann (Todd) Lincoln.

The Kentucky Gazette: (Lexington, Ky) Mar 5, 1800 reported:
"Robert Parker, county surveyor for Fayette county. Died at his seat, six miles from Lexington, Tuesday night, March 5, 1800."

However, Robert's tombstone records the death date as March 4th, and it is doubtful the newspaper reported an evening death on the same day it was printed.

CAUTION: DO NOT MIX AGAIN WITH OTHER DIFFERENT PEOPLE named ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Child of John Lincoln and Rebecca Flowers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln_(captain) He and spouse Bathsheba Herring had 5 Children. See in link attached.
Previous submitter wrote:

Abraham was shot and killed by Indians. John Harrison, in his 1935 book titled "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail: Some Pioneers to Old Augusta County" states on page 285 that early biographers who said that Abraham first married a Mary Shipley were wrong. He states that later investigators are agreed that there was only the one wife, Bathsheba Herring.

The following from, Find A Grave.

Abraham's father's family settled in Pennsylvania and Abraham was born in Berks County, the first of 9 children. Abraham became a tanner, perhaps because of a family relationship with James Boone, a well-regarded tanner who lived nearby. James was an uncle of Daniel Boone and his daughter was married to Abraham's father's half-brother.

Much of the Lincoln clan moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia when Abraham's father purchased a large tract of land there in 1768. Abraham received a portion of the land, married and began having children. When the American Revolution broke out, Abraham became involved with the local militia. He served as a captain of the Augusta County militia first and later with the Rockingham County militia when that county was established in 1778. Lincoln's unit was called into service under the Western Department of the Continental Army when Brigadier General Lachlan McIntosh of Georgia was in command there.

McIntosh had recently been involved in the killing of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia and a political rival of McIntosh, when the two fought a duel over various accusations. George Washington valued McIntosh's contributions to the war and feared that McIntosh might be killed or imprisoned by Gwinnett's supporters, so he had him transferred to the northwest.

The Western Department was headquartered at Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh) and was responsible for guarding the backcountry from British invasion from Fort Detroit. McIntosh devised a plan to attack Detroit that involved the building of two new forts to aid in the attack, Fort Laurens on the Tuscarawas River in Ohio and Fort McIntosh at the convergence of the Ohio and Beaver Rivers in Pennsylvania. Abraham Lincoln's Rockingham militia unit was called into service to help build the two forts during the latter part of 1778.

In 1780, Abraham Lincoln moved his family to Jefferson County, Kentucky (then part of Virginia), and settled near Hughes' Station east of Louisville (a station was like a small fort near which settlers would live for protection). Lincoln began purchasing land and eventually owned 2,000 acres. Unfortunately, the area was still contested by Indians and Lincoln had numerous "visits" from local Indians who wanted him off their hunting grounds.

In 1786, Lincoln was working on the farm with his three sons when he was shot from the forest and killed. The oldest son, Mordecai, who was 15 or 16, quickly ran to the cabin to get a gun, while the next son, Josiah, 13, ran off to Hughes' Station for help. The youngest son, Thomas, who was only 8 years old, stood by and watched in fear as an Indian came out of the woods. When the Indian reached for Thomas, either to kill or kidnap him, Mordecai took aim and shot the Indian dead. The boys then ran into the house where the rest of the family stayed until the arrival of help from Hughes' Station which drove the Indians off.

After his death, Abraham's wife Bathsheba was left with five children on the harsh frontier.

Abraham was shot and killed by Indians. John Harrison, in his 1935 book titled "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail: Some Pioneers to Old Augusta County" states on page 285 that early biographers who said that Abraham first married a Mary Shipley were wrong. He states that later investigators are agreed that there was only the one wife, Bathsheba Herring.

The following from, Find A Grave.

Abraham's father's family settled in Pennsylvania and Abraham was born in Berks County, the first of 9 children. Abraham became a tanner, perhaps because of a family relationship with James Boone, a well-regarded tanner who lived nearby. James was an uncle of Daniel Boone and his daughter was married to Abraham's father's half-brother.

Much of the Lincoln clan moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia when Abraham's father purchased a large tract of land there in 1768. Abraham received a portion of the land, married and began having children. When the American Revolution broke out, Abraham became involved with the local militia. He served as a captain of the Augusta County militia first and later with the Rockingham County militia when that county was established in 1778. Lincoln's unit was called into service under the Western Department of the Continental Army when Brigadier General Lachlan McIntosh of Georgia was in command there.

McIntosh had recently been involved in the killing of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia and a political rival of McIntosh, when the two fought a duel over various accusations. George Washington valued McIntosh's contributions to the war and feared that McIntosh might be killed or imprisoned by Gwinnett's supporters, so he had him transferred to the northwest.

The Western Department was headquartered at Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh) and was responsible for guarding the backcountry from British invasion from Fort Detroit. McIntosh devised a plan to attack Detroit that involved the building of two new forts to aid in the attack, Fort Laurens on the Tuscarawas River in Ohio and Fort McIntosh at the convergence of the Ohio and Beaver Rivers in Pennsylvania. Abraham Lincoln's Rockingham militia unit was called into service to help build the two forts during the latter part of 1778.

In 1780, Abraham Lincoln moved his family to Jefferson County, Kentucky (then part of Virginia), and settled near Hughes' Station east of Louisville (a station was like a small fort near which settlers would live for protection). Lincoln began purchasing land and eventually owned 2,000 acres. Unfortunately, the area was still contested by Indians and Lincoln had numerous "visits" from local Indians who wanted him off their hunting grounds.

In 1786, Lincoln was working on the farm with his three sons when he was shot from the forest and killed. The oldest son, Mordecai, who was 15 or 16, quickly ran to the cabin to get a gun, while the next son, Josiah, 13, ran off to Hughes' Station for help. The youngest son, Thomas, who was only 8 years old, stood by and watched in fear as an Indian came out of the woods. When the Indian reached for Thomas, either to kill or kidnap him, Mordecai took aim and shot the Indian dead. The boys then ran into the house where the rest of the family stayed until the arrival of help from Hughes' Station which drove the Indians off.

After his death, Abraham's wife Bathsheba was left with five children on the harsh frontier. Abraham's land was divided by law between Bathsheba and the oldest son, Mordecai, leaving Thomas to earn his own way in life. He would eventually become a wealthy landowner himself and his second child, also named Abraham, would one day become the 16th President of the United States.
