RE: Lincoln's Birth
In regards to Roger's earlier question about whether the marriage took place at the Francis Berry house or the Richard Berry house, I've seen both places listed as the marriage site. But I don't think I've seen any real documentation for a specific place where the marriage took place. All the documentation says is that Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks were married on June 12, 1806 by Jesse Head, deacon of the Methodist Episcopal Church:

If one absolutely had to guess between the two Berry homes, I would say the Richard Berry house is more likely since he was listed as the guardian of Nancy on the marriage bond. But maybe there was some other home or place where Thomas or Nancy would've wanted to get married besides one of the Berry homes.
