RE: Lincoln's views on his mother's ancestry
Bill, I don't work with genealogy, but I think Louis A. Warren argued that she was legitimate. I think the majority of scholars have accepted Lincoln's (i.e. Herndon's) version that she wasn't. But I don't think that the absolute "100% for certain" answer is known.
