was satisfactory in that there vas

Il STRANGE STORY.
Abraham Lincoln is Claimed na
Native OF North Carolina.


Native OF North Carolina.
The following strange and unlikely
story is printed in the Carolina Spar
tan
According to promise, | give IL brief
statement about the birth place of
Abraham Lincoln, hoping that future
.nvcstigatiOn will be made.
There has been much speculation
and more cXuggcration rs to the birth
place Of Abraham Lincoln than any
other great man in the annals Of his
tory. Barnes, IN the history OF tt .
United States, says on page 2lJ in Il
foot note, she was born in Kentucky,
Feb l2Ih, 1907 lie also says Abrn-
ham LincOln's father was unable to
read or write" This sounds very
much like LECTION to those who know
the real facts as to his native heath
and the intellectual requirements Of
his father.
hero Abraham lInlou was the father OF
Abraham Lincoln and lived in Hey
wood County, N. c., at the time Of Lin
coins birth but this part Of Haywood
has since bccn cut off to Swain County
Abraham lInloe lived on Ocona Lul-
ta river now in Swain County and ac-
quired considerable property, consist
ing OF slaves and a large body OF land
in the ferti G valley of Ocnna Lufta
Mr.. Abraham Enloc was iotclligen,
and educated for his day. He was tall
and dark complicated, with rough fca,
lures, and was the father Of five sons,
all OF whom bear the same prominent
characteristic physiOgnOmy.
Tho mother Of Abraham Lincoln Was
Nancy Hanks, IL native Of North Caro-
lima, and was employed by Abraham
Enloe as Il domestic. Mrs. Abraham
mestic girl, which resulted in the re-
moval Of Miss Nancy Hanks to Il Mr..
MoOdys on Jonathan's Creek in Hey
wood County, II distance OF about 10
miles, where she remained until the
birth Of IL son, which she named after
his father, Abraham tnloc. The re-
moval of Miss Macy failed to recon
cilc Mrs. F,nloe. Their domestic
troubles grew from bad to worse until
/ A Abraham EnlOe employed a man to
carry Miss Nancy and her babe across
the line into Tennessee where she
lived with one OF his ""lativcs until
sac married Tho mas lincoln. Thus
the name Of Lincoln was cngraftcd to
the already sir name OF Abraham,
which ever followed him to the Prcsi-
Dental scat. Westly NJ Enloc is now
the only living son OF Abraham Enloe
and lives in Swain County, near the
Cd homestead and claims to be the
half brother Of Abraham Lincoln and
they are as much alike as twin broth
crs. He Is an intelligent, prosperous,
good citizen.
Thomas Lincoln, tho stcp-father Of
Abraham Lincoln, was distiller in
East Tennessee Valley In close prox-
