Lincoln Discussion Symposium

Tad was said to have a cleft palate. What accounts exist of this "diagnosis"?

Hi Eva. This is an article on this here.

Fascinating article, many thanks Roger!

Roger -

Thanks for an interesting and insightful article re: Tad -

Poor little Tad.

But if his mouth was shaped almost identically to that of his paternal grandfather Thomas Lincoln, I guess that pretty much finishes the rumor/myth/speculation that Thomas was not Abe's biological father.
