Lincoln's Birth

[Steve]

In a similar vein to all of the above accounts, here are links to an account of a witness to the marriage of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks given in

Tarbell:

and Barton:

by one Christopher Columbus Graham, who both Barton and Tarbell seem to find credible. Graham claimed to be a centenarian in 1884, though after checking census records from 1820 - 1850 (he begins to give older ages in the 1870 and 1880 censuses) it seems that Graham was at least a decade younger than that. That would make Graham around 11 years old at the time of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hank's marriage in 1806.
