Nancy Hanks' lineage

[Steve Whitlock]

I lied when I said I had no more to say! I do have one more comment to make. In "Abraham Lincoln: A Life" by Michael Burlingame, Vol. 1 Chapter 1, pg 16 footnote 64 there are good sources, including Robert Todd Lincoln who said he had "never heard of any picture of my grandfather, Thomas Lincoln". Other sources mentioned, who should have known, include John J. Hall, husband of Matilda Johnston, Thomas Lincoln's stepdaughter. Mr. Hall stated that "No photograph or likeness was ever taken of Thos. Lincoln". Hall also allegedly said that he and Sarah Bush Johnston-Lincoln insisted that Thomas have "a picture taken just a year or two before his death, but he neglected to have it done".
