Yes, Bill. I do not believe the authenticity of the photograph of Thomas Lincoln has been established with absolute 100% certainty. For a discussion of this issue, please see Michael Lynch's article entitled "Putting a Face to the Name: Another Look at the Thomas Lincoln Photo" in the Winter 2008 edition of the Lincoln Herald.
