RE: Nancy Hanks' lineage
(03-01-2016 01:47 PM)Steve Whitlock Wrote: I'll set aside many misgivings I have concerning the photo of Thomas Lincoln, who should be turning 73 in 1851, the clothing he wears being questionable as to the period, his ability to afford such clothing, questions as to why he would not have a single photo with either his wife or son (even tho he and Abe were estranged).... Allow me to note that Abraham is not known to have posed for a photo with any member of his own family except Tad (AL.1864.2E and AL.1865.1A). I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863) |
