RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 01-21-2018
Ninian and Elizabeth Edwards?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-21-2018
Good guess, Michael, but it's not them.
RE: Who is this person? - Susan Higginbotham - 01-21-2018
Simeon Francis and his wife?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-21-2018
Good guess, Susan, but it's not them.
RE: Who is this person? - L Verge - 01-21-2018
I recently commented about the Lincolns being married by an Episcopal priest - even though Mary was Presbyterian - and the collar of the man resembles early photos that I have seen of such priests, so I am going to ask if it is of Rev. and Mrs. Dresser.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-21-2018
Excellent, Laurie! Yes, it is Reverend Charles Dresser and his wife Louisa W. Dresser. Reverend Dresser married the Lincolns in 1842. Then in 1844 the Lincolns bought their Springfield home from the Dressers.

Who are the four people in this image?

RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 01-22-2018
I know, but I'll let some one else try.
The youngest person in the photo is William.
RE: Who is this person? - Rogerm - 01-22-2018
Is the man on the far left a son of Lincoln's Secretary of State Seward?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-22-2018
Roger, very good - you are correct. So are you, Gene.
We need someone to give full names to all 4 of the folks pictured.
RE: Who is this person? - L Verge - 01-22-2018
The lady is wife, Frances Adeline; youngest is William (as RogerM said); the oldest is the one we usually don't hear about - Augustus; and the other is Frederick.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-22-2018
Wonderful, Laurie!
Laurie, Roger, and Gene --> you are all winners. Kudos to all.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 02-15-2018
Abraham Lincoln never met this man. However, his name is mentioned in a small minority of Lincoln books. Who is he?

RE: Who is this person? - Steve - 02-15-2018
Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 02-15-2018
Nice try, Steve, but it's not him.
Hint #1: This is a little like the questions Michael sometimes asks in that it is a "connection" question. There is a "connection" between this man's name and a very small number of writers who mention the man's name for a specific reason in their Lincoln books/articles.
