Uncle of President Abraham Lincoln, little is known of his life in Kentucky where he settled with his father at an early age. He became a farmer and Henry Pittle wrote the following about Josiah and the family line: "I knew Mordecai and Josiah Lincoln intimately. They were excellent men, plain, moderately educated, candid in their manners and intercourse and looked upon as honorable as any men I have heard of". (Letter of Henry Pittle, June 17, 1865; see "Herndon's Life of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. I, p 7.)

One of the many stories that President Lincoln told was the death of his grandfather for whom he was named. Josiah was witness to the murder of his father Abraham Lincoln (the elder).

Dr. Warren in his "Lincoln's Parentage and Childhood", page 8, describes the death of pioneer Abraham Lincoln. "Abraham Lincoln, with his three sons, Mordecai, Josiah and Thomas was busily engaged in the field putting in a crop of corn. Without warning they were attacked by two of three Indians. The father was killed at the first fusillade. Josiah, then thirteen years of age, started for Hughes' Station, half a mile away, where the family was then making their home in one of the fort's eight cabins. Mordecai and Thomas aged fifteen and ten respectively, made for a cabin nearby, which Abraham had erected and where the family would make their home as soon as safety would allow. An Indian despising the ability of Mordecai's marksmanship stepped out of the thicket to secure the scalp of the paleface. Mordecai from within the cabin took aim at a silver pendant on the breast of the Indian and brought him down. Josiah had reached the fort and warned the settlers, who started in pursuit of the redskins." On page 297, he fixes the time of this massacre as May 1786, through the papers in a suit in the Nelson Circuit Court. Josiah moved to Harrison County in southern Indiana.

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]

CAUTION: SEVERAL DIFFERENT COUSINS OF THE SAME NAME WERE MIXED AND MERGED. Please keep separated.
Mordecai was the earliest direct Lincoln ancestor of the President to settle in Pennsylvania. With him came his brother, Abraham, the first of the Lincoln clan to bear that name. They were the sons of Mordecai Lincoln of Scituate, Massachusetts, and the grandsons of Samuel Lincoln of Hingham, the first Lincoln progenitor of the President to settle in America.

Both Mordecai and his brother Abraham lived in New Jersey about seven years before migrating to Pennsylvania. While residing in New Jersey, Mordecai married Hannah Saltar, to which union there were born one son, John, and five daughters. One of the daughters died in infancy and lies buried in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

Mordecai and Hannah Lincoln and their family settled at "Scoolkill," later called Coventry Township, in Chester County. Here Mordecai, in partnership with Samuel Nutt and William Branson, operated a forge on French Creek - just how long Mordecai remained here it is difficult to determine. There is some indication that he intended to return to New Jersey as he sold his interest in the forge for five hundred pounds on December 14 1726, and five months later he bought of Richard Saltar, a tract of land in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Apparently it was about the time of the New Jersey land purchase in 1727, that his wife, Hannah, passed away and left him with five children, the oldest but eleven, and the youngest, an infant born shortly before the mother's death.

(www.berkshistory.org)

"Mordecai Lincoln married Hannah, daughter of Richard and Sarah Bowne Salter previous to 1711, as in that year Hannah Lincoln is mentoned in a will of Captain John Bowne, 2nd (her uncle). The settlement of this estate involved a tedious lawsuit which is noted in Book No. 1, Minutes of Court, Freehold. Mordecai Lincoln's will was admitted to probate at Philadelphia, June 7, 1736. The plantation of Mordecai contained 1,000 acres situated in Exeter, now Berks County, Pennsylvania."

(William Bowne of Yorkshire, England & His Descendants by Miller K Reading, M.D.)

Mordecai blev gift med Hannah Salter den 14 sep. 1714 i Freehold, Monmouth, New Jersey, USA. Hannah (datter af Captain Richard Salter, Sr og Sarah Bowne) blev født den 1 jun. 1692 i Freehold, Monmouth, New Jersey, USA; døde den 30 apr. 1727 i Amity, Berks, Pennsylvania, USA; blev begravet i 1727 i Exeter, Berks, Pennsylvania, USA.
