RE: Adin Baber on Nancy Hanks
Baber believes it was Abraham and Sarah Hanks who were Nancy's parents, but that's the only thing I've read so far. I agree with you, Roger, that Hanks genealogy is confusing. If I remember correctly, there were nine Nancy Hanks alive in the area at the time that could have been Lincoln's mother. Given that most biographers point to Lucy Hanks, it will be interesting to see how Baber squares that circle.
Karin, Herndon said that Lincoln told him the Virginia planter story, but he didn't say where he got the information. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
