1860 Census and Phillip Dinkell

[maharba]

Abraham Lincoln should be listed by name in at least 3 censuses, I would say. In 1840 and 1850 and 1860. The 1860 census of Springfield, Sangamon county Illinois has the Lincoln family listed between the Henry Carrigan family and the D. J. Snow family in District 16 in Springfield ILL. Along with the Lincoln family is the girl M. Johnson a 'servant' born 1842 in Illinois. I suppose that is a Mary Johnson? Then Phillip Dinkel a boy born 1846 in Illinois. It does not say for him 'servant' but I assume that's what he too was. Dinkell went on to serve in the Federal army, and I believe lived to at least 1870 listed as a Tinker. That he married and had one son with a name like Middleton Dinkel? I wonder who the girl Mary Johnson was, what family? In his wealthier years, I wonder who the Lincoln's servants were, and how many over the years.
