Lincoln's birthday

[Eva Elisabeth]

Very interesting. Wild guess - how was the census data collection done technically/practically? Would both, Mary and Abraham, have been asked separately, or did one "testify" for the entire family? In the latter case it must have been Mary since she cheated about her age, making herself four years younger (she was 32, not 28 in 1850). She did that repeatedly. Maybe she "juveniled" her husband, too (who was long absent when on the circuit and perhaps also when the census data was taken).
