RE: Lincoln's views on his mother's ancestry
According to Lincoln's Youth by Louis Warren, Nancy parent's were Lucy Shipley and James Hanks. They were married in North Carolina. The father died and Lucy and her daughter Nancy moved to KY. In KY, Lucy married her second husband, Henry Sparrow. This is on page 6-7 of the book mentioned. A footnote on p.217 indicated "No record of the marriage of James Hanks and Lucy Shipley has been discovered but the Shipley family traditions support the fact that they were married and Nancy was the child of this union". (I'm about 1/3 through on reading this book, and it is very good)
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
