RE: Trivia question
You got it Gene. Well done.
Here's some more information http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/3974971.stm and https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-21548773 "Abraham Lincoln's great, great grandfather, called John Morris, lived up in Bryngwyn," explains Eirian Roberts, whose farm in Ysbyty Ifan includes the now derelict farmhouse of Bryngwyn." ... John Morris' daughter, Ellen, emigrated to the United States with a group of Quakers, leaving Wales, it is believed, sometime in the first half of the 17th Century. ... While she was out there, she met Cadwaladr Evans and got married to him." He came from relatively nearby, about 20 miles away in Bala, although the couple had not known each other before they both went to the US. "They had a daughter called Sarah and she went on to marry John Hanks, and a daughter was born to them called Nancy, who became the mother of Abraham Lincoln." “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |
