RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-21-2012
Donna, please correct me if I say anything that is incorrect.
Mary grew up in a Presbyterian family in Lexington. The Todds were members of the McChord Presbyterian Church on Market Street. When she first moved to Springfield, she became an Episcopalian and was married by an Episcopalian minister. In 1850 she transferred her allegiance back to the Presbyterian church, and she attended Presbyterian churches in Springfield from 1850-1861 and in Washington, D.C. from 1861-1865. Her funeral sermon in 1882 was preached by a Presbyterian minister.

He looks a little like "Jack" Lincoln, although I have never seen a photo of him on horseback.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 09-06-2012
Wow, that question lasted all of three minutes! You are correct, Joe.
Because "Jack" was on horseback in the photo, your prize will be my win ticket on Bodemeister in the 2012 Kentucky Derby.

Where can this picture be found? I can't recall seeing it before. Many of Jack's photos are in the Lincoln Family Album (Harold Holzer). Was this from the Meserve collection?

Also, Roger, where did you find the picture of the older Hannah Armstrong? The only one I have ever seen was the one that has been used by so many Lincoln biographers, from Sandburg onward and, in that one she is wearing a bonnet.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 09-06-2012
Joe, for the picture of "Jack" on horseback, please go to p. 145 of the Lincoln Family Album.
For the picture of the older Hannah, please see the article here.

Should've, could've, would've!!!
Here I am citing the Lincoln Family Album and didn't "re"-consult it where I could've seen the photo--not to mention that I have the article with Hannah's photo in my files! Aaaargh!! I've got to get organized!
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-07-2013
In 1824 one of the Lincolns' neighbors in Indiana was especially excited about the visit of the Marquis de Lafayette to the United States. This was because he had served under Lafayette in the Revolutionary War.
Who is this person?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-07-2013
Hint #1: His first and last names begin with the same letter.

Roger,
Isn't this Abraham "Jack" Lincoln? I think this was posted before.

OOOPS and MEA CULPA, I scrolled up too far, looking for a photo instead of reADING THE QUESTION!!! Can I blame this on my back?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-07-2013
Joe, as a fellow back pain patient, I fully understand.
I do not think there are any photos of the person who is the right answer.
Hint #2: Abe became friends with this man's son.
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 01-07-2013
A total shot in the dark and I don't know the man's name, but Austin Golloher's father?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-07-2013
Good guess, Joe. But that's not it.
Hint #3: Young Abe was with the man's son when he (Abe) had a serious accident.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-07-2013
Hint #4: His first name was Thomas.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-08-2013
Hint #5: In the accident mentioned in Hint #3 the same part of Lincoln's body was hit as was Mary Lincoln's in her 1863 accident.
