Hint #1: Try to imagine him without the beard. Whom does he resemble?

This is going to get to me, Eva. I definitely have seen that image in a book, but my mind has gone blank. Salmon P. Chase with a beard?

Another good guess, Roger, but it isn't Chase either.
Hint #2: He supposedly died in 1830.

Eva, your second clue helped. Mordecai Lincoln.

I was going to say John Hanks, but he died in 1889.

Yes, good memory, Laurie. He married Mary Mudd. Wikipedia says Mary Mudd was a first cousin twice removed of Dr. Samuel Mudd.

You've got it, Roger, very good! He does resemble Thomas, doesn't he?

Good guess Roger, but it isn't Harlan. And Laurie is correct that it isn't Santa Claus.

First clue: He corresponded with several Lincoln biographers.
