No date past 1851. Did A. L.'s stepmother inherit and keep the bible?(01-14-2017 02:56 PM)RJNorton Wrote: I don't know, but the Lincoln family Bible (now in the LOC) includes the birth dates of the four sons in Abraham's handwriting (as well as the death date of Eddie).All the names Abraham Lincoln wrote in his father' s Bible relate to his stepmother. It's missing his brother Thomas who died as an infant and his children whom he never brought to meet his stepmother. Maybe Lincoln just copied the record from a Johnston family member who didn't have that information. |
