Is it a male or a female?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 10-17-2024 06:34 PM
Not Lamon, Rob. The person is male, Anita.
Hint #1: Lincoln first met this man in the 1850s.

I think I will give the answer - it is the birthplace of Edwin Stanton.

Roger,
Darn, I wasn't quick enough. I spent much of the late morning looking through the Lincoln Log trying to find names of people he met in the 1850s. None seemed important enough until I got to 1855 and saw Stanton. Oh well, I learned about all the time Lincoln collected a legal fee or bought thread or cloth for Mary.
Best
Rob

Thanks for trying, Rob.

Roger, it was a good question. I spent time using Rob's approach to the search and no one seemed to fit with that unassumingly home.

Thanks for trying, Anita.
