add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Lineage of Lincoln," by William E. Barton. This authoritative book is full of interesting collateral information and comment on seventeenth-century Norfolk out of which Samuel Lincoln emerged during the Puritan migrations to the U.S. The author has succeeded in tracing the ancestor of Nancy flanks Lincoln to Thomas Hanks, a Puritan of Malmsbury, England, who, following his capture by the king's partisans, was deported to Virginia. In tracing the Hanks and Lincoln ancestry he finds it necessary to snuff out and bury several fictitious members of both families, a sacrifice he instituted in his life of Lincoln, 1925.
