Were Lincoln and Ward Hill Lamon law "partners?"
When practicing law, Lincoln had three law partners, John Todd Stuart, Stephen T. Logan, and William Herndon.
However, from time to time, I see it mentioned that Lincoln and Ward Hill Lamon were also law partners. Did they ever have a formal agreement of a partnership, or was the arrangement (if it existed) just in effect when Lincoln was trying a case in Danville? It seems that calling them partners was more an invention of either Lamon or Clint Clay Tilton to puff up Lamon's biography, but if that isn't the case, then why not say Lincoln had four law partners?
