RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-21-2023
No googling please.
Historians feel this is a sketch of a cabin where someone who has been discussed on this forum lived. What is the person's name?

RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-21-2023
Thomas Lincoln?

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-21-2023
That is a logical answer, Rob, but incorrect.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-21-2023
Roger,
I suspect I am overthinking this one. Could it be Abraham?
Best
Rob
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-21-2023
Both of your answers are on the right track, Rob, but you do not have the right person.
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 12-21-2023
Teacher ? Mentor Graham?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-21-2023
Nope, not Mentor Graham, Michael. It was not someone from Sangamon County.
RE: Who is this person? - Steve - 12-21-2023
Sarah Bush Johnston, or someone related to the Johnston family, before Sarah remarried to Thomas Lincoln?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-22-2023
Excellent, Steve. That is correct. It is Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln's cabin in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 12-22-2023
Thanks Roger, do you have any info on the sketch ( source, artist, date) ?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-22-2023
I do not, Gene. The image (labeled) was in some old files I have but without information on the artist, etc. I will see if I can find something.
Her Elizabethtown cabin has been recreated and is open to the public.

RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 02-14-2024
who is this? (double click on image to enlarge ... good luck googling)
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 02-14-2024
I assume you have guessed the hand on the left is Lincoln's
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 02-14-2024
A younger Walt Whitman than is normally seen in images?
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 02-14-2024
No, Roger but I see why you say that.
Although not a photo it is almost as good as.
If you can guess why the man is pointing... it would assist.
