That photo is on p. 305 of Lloyd Ostendorf's Lincoln's Photographs: A Complete Album. The caption says it's an ambrotype taken in 1855 or 1856.
I would like to know why the creator of the video thinks Tad's name was "Thomas Daniel." Has anyone seen that mistake anywhere else?
I just this minute watched that video and thought the same thing about where they came up with "Daniel" as a middle name. I never thought Tad had a middle name.
I was recently on the Mr. Lincoln's White House website looking for something else and saw a photo of Tad that I had never seen. It's a cameo (chest up) shot of him with a slouch hat on his head. I would guess his age to be about ten??
Laurie, I know the photo you mean. It's not in Ostendorf's book, and I never have been able to research it. I do not think it's in the Lincoln Family Album, either. I agree - he looks about 10 in the photo.
There's something about that photo that makes me wonder if Henry F. Warren took it?
I'm with Laurie -- wasn't Tad's full name simply "Thomas Lincoln?"
Laurie and Tom, I sure think you are correct.
Yes, Tad's full name was Thomas Lincoln - named after AL's father who also did not have a middle name. I'm just wondering why "Daniel" appears in this video. Even though it is a mistake, I have not seen it elsewhere.
I think someone is taking this
Fan Fiction page too seriously!

Roger, thanks for the link. It was a new one to me.
