The "ten mothers" of Abraham Lincoln

[loetar44]

What about Lincoln’s DNA? The National Museum of Health and Medicine, the National Park Service and the Chicago History Museum all have established policies prohibiting destructive testing on nonrenewable historical specimens. I’m not sure if the Grand Army of the Republic Museum in Philadelphia rejected DNA research on the bloodstained pillowcase they have in possession. But as far as I know testing was done on Laura Keene’s bloodstained dress, a piece of bandage, some of Lincoln’s hair, swabs and samples from Lincoln’s deathbed, and a bedsheet. But I wonder, is there proper Lincoln-DNA existing to test ??? How many people (in 150 year) have touched the samples or even sneezed on them, destroying the material for proper DNA-testing.
