Lincoln's birthday

[Steve]

I'll check out Ed Steers' article in the Lincoln Herald. I also want to clarify that I think Lincoln's source for the Johnston information, at least, was his step-brother John D. Johnston (who's second marriage is the last event recorded by Lincoln). Looking at Ed's post and then some family trees online, he had a son of the same name born in 1854. So I seem to have been mistaken in thinking John D. the father made the copy of the Bible record instead of his son with the same name.
