Biography
A son of Abraham and Bathsheba Lincoln, Thomas very probably did NOT have Herring as middle name. In 1998, Paul H. Verduin - then General Secretary of the Abraham Lincoln Institute of the Mid-Atlantic and a noted authority on President Lincoln's antecedents - pointed out two crucial items concerning Bathsheba Lincoln's maiden name. In a letter dated 13 October 1998, Verduin noted that : (1) the name Herring has not been found on any document relating to Bathsheba; and (2) the "tale was invented in 1908, some 140 years after her marriage to President Lincoln's grandfather, by the daughter of one of the co-authors of the highly flawed study of the Lincoln genealogy which appeared at that time". Verduin wrote further that the daughter "visited Rockingham County that summer and enticed a story from a couple of individuals named Chrisman. The tale had never been heard before [1908], and there's absolutely no evidence for it. I've searched high and low, but haven't found the answer - and it may well be that none is available from any extant records."[1]
On 12 June 1806, Thomas Lincoln married Nancy Hanks in Washington County, Kentucky.[2], She was born on 5 February 1784 and died on 5 October 1818. On 2 December 1819, Thomas married Sarah Bush, widow of Daniel Johnson. She was born on 13 December 1788 and died on 12 April 1869. Thomas predeceased Sarah on 17 January 1851 in Cole County, Illinois, where he had lived for twenty years.
Issue: Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, an only son, who in 1854 was of Springfield, aged 45, and had three children, the eldest of whom was 11 years of age. His wife was born and raised in Kentucky. He was born 12 February 1809.
The ancestry of Abraham Lincoln's mother Nancy Hanks has always been somewhat of a mystery. For over a century, historians and genealogists have repeatedly made claims that they have finally solved the mystery of Lincoln's mother, and that everyone before them was wrong. They claim to be able to "prove the truth!" All of these theories regarding Nancy’s ancestry have been “documented” mainly through circumstantial evidence and oral traditions. There are very few primary documents remaining. The one thing that can be proven about Nancy’s origins is that no one can prove the truth, at least not yet.

Sarah Bush Lincoln

Birth: Dec. 13, 1788
Hardin County
Kentucky, USA
Death: Apr. 12, 1869
Coles County
Illinois, USA

She became Abraham Lincoln's stepmother when he was nine - Sarah became a widow in 1816 left with three children while Thomas Lincoln became a widower in 1818 left with two children. He simply knocked on her door one day in Hardin County, Kentucky and proposed marriage. Quickly married, the second for both, Sarah age 31 and Thomas age 41, loaded up a wagon with Sara's things and headed for the Thomas' farm in Indiana. Abraham and his sister found out they had a new mother as well as three new playmates. While Thomas viewed his son's studious ways as a waste of time, his new stepmother although illiterate herself, encouraged him. This influence probably led to his lofty place in American history. They became close, while the distance between father and son widened. The Lincoln's moved to Illinois in 1830 at which point, Abraham parted and went his own way. Upon the death of his father in 1851, he did not attend the funeral but continued to visit his stepmother periodically. The president-elect made one last visit to Sarah before he left for Washington and then visited the grave of his father. It was the last time they would ever meet. Sarah continued to live at the Coles County farm until her death at age 80 leaving over twenty grandchildren to mourn her. She was interred beside her second husband, Thomas Lincoln.

CAUTION: DO NOT MIX AGAIN WITH OTHER DIFFERENT PEOPLE named ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Child of John Lincoln and Rebecca Flowers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln_(captain) He and spouse Bathsheba Herring had 5 Children. See in link attached.

Abraham was shot and killed by Indians. John Harrison, in his 1935 book titled "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail: Some Pioneers to Old Augusta County" states on page 285 that early biographers who said that Abraham first married a Mary Shipley were wrong. He states that later investigators are agreed that there was only the one wife, Bathsheba Herring.

The following from, Find A Grave.

Abraham's father's family settled in Pennsylvania and Abraham was born in Berks County, the first of 9 children. Abraham became a tanner, perhaps because of a family relationship with James Boone, a well-regarded tanner who lived nearby. James was an uncle of Daniel Boone and his daughter was married to Abraham's father's half-brother.

Much of the Lincoln clan moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia when Abraham's father purchased a large tract of land there in 1768. Abraham received a portion of the land, married and began having children. When the American Revolution broke out, Abraham became involved with the local militia. He served as a captain of the Augusta County militia first and later with the Rockingham County militia when that county was established in 1778. Lincoln's unit was called into service under the Western Department of the Continental Army when Brigadier General Lachlan McIntosh of Georgia was in command there.

McIntosh had recently been involved in the killing of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia and a political rival of McIntosh, when the two fought a duel over various accusations. George Washington valued McIntosh's contributions to the war and feared that McIntosh might be killed or imprisoned by Gwinnett's supporters, so he had him transferred to the northwest.

The Western Department was headquartered at Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh) and was responsible for guarding the backcountry from British invasion from Fort Detroit. McIntosh devised a plan to attack Detroit that involved the building of two new forts to aid in the attack, Fort Laurens on the Tuscarawas River in Ohio and Fort McIntosh at the convergence of the Ohio and Beaver Rivers in Pennsylvania. Abraham Lincoln's Rockingham militia unit was called into service to help build the two forts during the latter part of 1778.

In 1780, Abraham Lincoln moved his family to Jefferson County, Kentucky (then part of Virginia), and settled near Hughes' Station east of Louisville (a station was like a small fort near which settlers would live for protection). Lincoln began purchasing land and eventually owned 2,000 acres. Unfortunately, the area was still contested by Indians and Lincoln had numerous "visits" from local Indians who wanted him off their hunting grounds.

In 1786, Lincoln was working on the farm with his three sons when he was shot from the forest and killed. The oldest son, Mordecai, who was 15 or 16, quickly ran to the cabin to get a gun, while the next son, Josiah, 13, ran off to Hughes' Station for help. The youngest son, Thomas, who was only 8 years old, stood by and watched in fear as an Indian came out of the woods. When the Indian reached for Thomas, either to kill or kidnap him, Mordecai took aim and shot the Indian dead. The boys then ran into the house where the rest of the family stayed until the arrival of help from Hughes' Station which drove the Indians off.

After his death, Abraham's wife Bathsheba was left with five children on the harsh frontier. Abraham's land was divided by law between Bathsheba and the oldest son, Mordecai, leaving Thomas to earn his own way in life. He would eventually become a wealthy landowner himself and his second child, also named Abraham, would one day become the 16th President of the United States.

CAUTION: MEGA MIX UP OF PEOPLE AGAIN! HE HAD 7 CHILDREN, NOT 12! See "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail" in MEMORIES so different generations and unrelated people do not get added again! Alexander Herron or Herring was the only son of Alexander Herring who died at Delaware in 1735. The mother was Margaret. Where this surname for her came from is a question mark.
Children as listed in J. Houston Harrison, "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail," page 286 were:
LEONARD, b. 1731, d. after 1805 and married Abigail Harrison, daughter of Thomas Harrison, founder of Harrisonburg. So Leonard had a mother whose maiden name was Abigail Harrison and a wife whose maiden name was Abigail Harrison, but they were 2 DIFFERENT persons.
JOHN, b. before 1741 and d. before 1778.
ALEXANDER, b. about 1739 and d. April-l-May, 1779; m. ____?
BATHSHEBA, b. about 1742 d. 1836; md. Abraham Lincoln, b. 13 May 1744, and d. May 1786. He was the grandfather of the president and son of "Virginia" John Lincoln.
WILLIAM, b. about 1744; d. July 1806; m. Elizabeth Stephenson. She died 1821 and was a sister to Major David Stephenson.
JESSE, b. ____; s. March 1781; d. March 1781, unmarried.
BETHUEL, b. 1751; d. ___; m. 2nd, in October `800, Margaret Erwin, daughter of John.
In the will of Alexander Sr., this man's father, will dated September 19, 1735 it stated: "To my loving son Alexander Herring, house and 189 acres."
Where did this person get the name John added. No reference in land or court records or in J. Houston Harrison's "Settlers by the Long Grey Trai"l when referring to Alexander Herring or Herron called him John. Find a grave calls him Alexander. There was a later John A., but not this one.

Alexander blev gift med Abigail Harrison i 1735 i Sussex, Delaware, USA. Abigail blev født i 1710 i Smithtown, Suffolk, New York, USA; døde i 1780 i Rockingham, Virginia, USA; blev begravet i 1780 i McGaheysville, Rockingham, Virginia, United States. [Gruppeskema] [Familietavle]
