I have a copy of the 1996 edition of the Lincoln Family Album (Neely and Holzer), and that book has the same error. In that book, William Aaron Harlan is identified as being a sickly Tad Lincoln at age 18. I wonder how many books have this error.

(I have had several contacts with Dr. John Sotos, author of The Physical Lincoln. All have been polite but argumentative. He believes Lincoln suffered from a rare genetic cancer syndrome called MEN2B - multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2B. I disagree.)
