RE: Where did the Lincolns live after the Globe Tavern?
I checked the Hay-Nicolay biography this morning. They skip over the 4th street cottage as well.

Volume 1, p.204:

"They went to live, immediately after their marriage, at a boarding house (1) called 'The Globe,' which was 'very well kept by a widow lady of the name of Beck,' and there their first child was born, who was one day to be Secretary of War and Minister to England, and for whom was reserved the strange experience of standing by the death-bed of two assassinated Presidents. Lincoln afterwards built a comfortable house of wood on the corner of Eighth and Jackson streets where he lived until he removed to the White House."

The (1) refers to a foot note as follows "This house is still standing, opposite St. Paul's Church."

Nothing really new here but another text crossed off the list for earlier reference or original citation listing.
