Adin Baber on Nancy Hanks

[irshgrl500]

I avoid Hanks' genealogy as I find it too confusing. Rob, I don't have any of the sources you mentioned, but I do have a copy of Abraham Lincoln's Hanks Family Genealogy. It was written by one of our forum members, Vicky Reany Paulson, and is available on Amazon. Vicky writes that "Caroline Hanks Hitchcock's book is a farce." Vicky writes that there is absolutely no doubt Nancy Hanks was the daughter of Lucy Hanks.

Also Roger, didn't AL's mom, Nancy, tell him, as a child that Lucy (her mother) told her that her "real" or birth father was a wealthy landowner? She did not seem to hide this from her son; or am I wrong?
