Tad Lincoln Photo - Gene C - 11-08-2012 05:32 PM
In this youtube video, there is a photo of Tad Lincoln I have never seen before. It is about 22 seconds into the video.

Your comments please....
Does anyone know more about this?

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?"
RE: Tad Lincoln Photo - RJNorton - 11-09-2012 04:49 PM
Laurie and Tom, I sure think you are correct.
RE: Tad Lincoln Photo - Donna McCreary - 11-09-2012 06:32 PM
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!
