Thanks! I had to look in Donald for actresses that Lincoln had admired.

Not too obscure (I hope) this time ... a hint to start off ... American
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 09-23-2018
Judge Thomas C. Browne of the Illinois Supreme Court? He attended the Lincolns' wedding in 1842. He was a blunt man not accustomed to weddings. As Abraham was putting the wedding ring on Mary's hand and repeating the words, "With this ring I thee endow with all my goods, chattels, lands, and tenements," Browne impatiently blurted out, "God Almighty, Lincoln, the statute fixes all that."

#2 He had a theory about slavery
#3 He was in line to be President, but a technicality would have prevented it.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 09-23-2018
Technically too young? Or no native American (I think that was ambitious Arnie's problem...)

Technically too young, Eva

He committed a crime.
Summary ...
#1 He started in law but later became involved in financial issues.
#2 He had a theory about slavery
#3 He was in line to be President, but a technicality (too young) would have prevented it.
#4 He committed a crime.
#5 He was pardoned.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 09-23-2018
Is there some direct Lincoln connection? (Did they meet, correspond, admire "each" other resp. unidirectionally?)
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 09-23-2018
Robert Hunter?
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 09-23-2018
ok ... back awake ... No , sorry Roger, not Robert Hunter.
I was going to give as a hint, Eva, this man was no friend of Lincoln.
#1 He started in law but later became involved in financial issues.
#2 He had a theory about slavery
#3 He was in line to be President, but a technicality (too young) would have prevented it.
#4 He committed a crime.
#5 He was pardoned.

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 09-23-2018
David Rice Atchison?
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 09-23-2018
No, sorry Roger (but you're giving me lots of names that will keep me busy researching).
#1 He started in law but later became involved in financial issues.
#2 He had a theory about slavery
#3 He was in line to be President, but a technicality (too young) would have prevented it.
#4 He committed a crime.
#5 He was pardoned.
#6 He was president for a short time (sorry ... that's a trick hint)
#7 No friend of Lincoln
And that "theory" of his about slavery ? I dont think he ever said specifically what it was ... but I am certain that he would have been forced to admit that it was wrong.
