New Light On Lincoln's Boyhood

[loetar44]

That Sophie Hanks Lynch Legrand stayed with the Lincolns from 1818 (when she was 9) until she married with Dillings Lynch on June 13, 1827, was confirmed and presented by Lincoln scholar and historian Paul H. Verduin of Silver Spring, MD, at a symposium at Shreveport in 1992 on Lincoln’s legacy. His findings were published Feb. 11, 1996, under a banner headline on the front page of the State Journal-Register in Springfield, Ill. Has someone access to the State Journal-Register?
