Ills mothor not only gavo a fathorlow tlio records of his family. Lincoln

Lincoln family BIblo, Is the first au
thority for tho tlmo nnd plnco of his
birth, as woll as tho namo of his
fathor nnd mother. Tho father,
Thomns Lincoln, far from being a
"poor whlto," was tho son of a pros
perous Kontucky pioneer, n man of
honorable and wcll-ostnbllshed llne-
ngo who had como from Vlrglnln ns

thoro bought largo tracts of land and
begun to grow up with tho country,
whoro ho wns killed by tho IndlnnB
Ho loft a lnrgo fumlly. By tho law
of Kontucky tho eatato went mainly
to tho oldost Bon, and tho youngest,
Thomas Lincoln, wns lort to shift for
himself. This youngost sou grow to
manhood, nnd on Juno 10, 180C, was
mnrrlod, nt Uoochlnnd, Kontucky, to
a young womnn of n fnmlly woll
known In tho vicinity, Nancy Hnnks.
Thero Is no doubt whatovor about
the tlmo nnd tho plnco of tholr mar

tho efforts of Mro. Carollno Hanks
Hitchcock, of Cambridge, Mass.. who

that in the lattor part of the ISth
