I would bet that the couple that y'all are passing off as the Lincolns was actually somewhere on one of these family lines. Those typed pages are at times difficult for my eyes to read clearly, so would someone else please read the dag history section to make sure that I did not miss how this lady came to get this item?

And while you are on the site, make sure that you read "The Experts" section. It will give you a very good idea of what opinion James and cohorts have of Lincoln experts -- we are all backwoods country hicks.

P.S. I thought that the "real" Lincoln watch and chain are in the collections at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History here in D.C. What's the story about the Chicago one?

I would be willing to bet that the dag depicts one set of the lady's grandparents--whom the site doesn't name, lest someone be in a position to find a photograph of them and compare. It also doesn't mention any connection between the lady and the Lincoln family.

Personally, if I were trying to make a fortune off a photograph, I would spend more time trying to establish its provenance and less time writing snarky poetry about the skeptical.
