Extra Credit Questions

[RJNorton]

In the first episode of CNN's excellent series on Lincoln it is implied that young Abraham and his sister, Sarah, were left alone in their Indiana cabin when Thomas Lincoln traveled to Kentucky to ask Sarah Bush Johnston to marry him.

But this may not be correct. The book I am currently reading says that Thomas Lincoln put another person in charge of the two children during the time he was gone.

What was this person's name?
