Good guess, Joe, but it's not him.

Hint #1: Try to imagine him without the beard. Whom does he resemble?

This is going to get to me, Eva. I definitely have seen that image in a book, but my mind has gone blank. Salmon P. Chase with a beard?

RE: Who is this person?
Another good guess, Roger, but it isn't Chase either.
Hint #2: He supposedly died in 1830.

RE: Who is this person?
Eva, your second clue helped. Mordecai Lincoln.

I was going to say John Hanks, but he died in 1889.

Is Mordecai the one who was married to a Mudd?

Yes, good memory, Laurie. He married Mary Mudd. Wikipedia says Mary Mudd was a first cousin twice removed of Dr. Samuel Mudd.

You've got it, Roger, very good! He does resemble Thomas, doesn't he?

With that stern a face, it sure isn't Santa Claus!

RE: Who is this person?
Good guess Roger, but it isn't Harlan. And Laurie is correct that it isn't Santa Claus.

First clue: He corresponded with several Lincoln biographers.
