RE: Lincoln's Birth
Thanks, Gene. That is what I leaned to when I asked the question.

But here is an article by Harold Holzer in which he says it was in the Francis Berry house:

https://www.nytimes.com/1998/02/08/trave...years.html

"The sturdy two-story log cabin, the Francis Berry house, in which the adult Thomas courted a girl named Nancy Hanks, was also relocated to this park in 1941 from its original site about a mile away. Look carefully: its log exterior and some of its furnishings are authentic. A huge hearth dominates the dark, low-ceilinged sitting room, with a few well-made wooden chairs. Upstairs, Nancy's room boasts a tiny but handsome bed covered by a lovely country quilt. Primitive at first glance, this house will seem positively lavish compared to the cabins Thomas later built himself. There can be no denying that when Nancy Hanks became Mrs. Thomas Lincoln in this house in 1806, she married down in society."
