If you are interested in Lincoln's early life in Indiana, you will find this informative with information not found in most history books.

A year later Thomas went back to Hardin
County, Kentucky and married widow Sally
Bush Johnston. Sally, age 32, moved to the
Lincoln farm with her three children, Elizabeth
13, John 10, and Matilda 9—where they joined
Thomas Lincoln 42, and his children Sarah 13
and Abraham 11, and Dennis Hanks 21. For
two years eight people lived in the one-room
cabin (Warren 1959: 58-62). In 1821 the
crowding was somewhat alleviated when
Dennis Hanks married Elizabeth Johnston and
they moved into their own cabin a mile to the
east (Warren 1959:84).
