we're born In the same rude log cabin
In Kentucky. but three months apart.
In 1909. and that she herself Is n
grandniccc of Lineoin's mother. the
famous Nancy Hanks.
She Is Mrs. Nellie II. Moore. who
was born not many years before tho
outbreak of the civil war. In the then
exceedingly primitive town OF Frank
ford. Mo-. and has been for three
months past resident Of East Pep
pcreii, Mass. where her husband.
Charles ". Moore. Is engineer In n
mill.
When asked to define her relation
ship to the martyred President. Mrs.
Moore said:
My father. William S. Hail. was n
son Of Martha Hanks. sister Of Nancy
Hanks. who married Thomas Lincoln
and became the mother of Abraham
Lincoln. So. you see. my father was
FIRST cousin and was second cousin to
the President.
"My grandfather. who married Mar
tina Hanks. was Levi Hall. and they
und Thomas and Nancy Lincoln were
living together in the little log cabin
in Ia Rue county, Ky. In 1909. when
Abraham Lincoln was born there. My
father was born three months later In
the same cabin"
When questioned rs to the antecc-
dents of the Hanks. Lincoln and Hall
families, Mrs. Moore says II is tradi-
ton of all three families that they
emigratcd together from New England
about 200 years ago to Pennsylvania,
from there to Virginia and later to
Kentucky. as they eventually did to
Indiana and finally to Illinois and Mis-
souri. She has been for some time
engaged in investigating the possible
early connection of the families with
New England. and intends to prepare
a genealogy embodying the results OF
her labor.
Continuing her story of the vicissi.
tudes of the Lincoln, Hanks and Hall
families. Mrs. Moore says:
MY aunt, Rosanne Hall. who rode
from her home in Maryland to Ken
tucky behind her husband on his horse
told me that there were Quakers
among my ancestors. as there are said
to have been in the Lincoln family.
She also said that my great grand
father was killed by the indians at the
same time that Abraham Lincoln's
grandfather was. while they were
clearing the ground to plant corn. on
their arrival in Kentucky. 1t was she
who told me my father was born in
the Lincoln log cabin.
"My grandparents. Levi Han and
Martha Hanks. both died of the milk.

Jears.
Most OF those who personally knew
him have also passed on into silence.
and. like Washington. he has become
In the popular mind sort Of mystical
figure. associated with q bygone age OF
dramatic heroism-a patron saint.
Although New England loved Lin
coin as much rs any other section of
the country did. when II came to know
him. yet he was always regarded as =
characteristic product OF the pioneer
country. and. although efforts not alto
gether successful have been made to
