My previous post #31 is in error, because I thought Lincoln had known and believed the comments about the relationship with Jefferson and one of his slaves. I mistakenly thought it had been proven true. I appreciate the correction. If it came up as an issue in the 1850's, Lincoln is likely to have heard about it. I do not know of any comments that he may have had on the issue.

Thank you, Gene. That was truly all I was looking for. I don't know if Lincoln knew about the claim, believed the claim, or ever spoke against Mr. Jefferson because of the claim. It's water under the bridge at this point in our history, imo.
