OF the Kentucky farm where his

Musty records of Hardin coun-

birthplace, known as Sinking
Spring Farm, was acquired by
Thomas Lincoln in December,
1908, for 5000. Thomas Lincoln
signed paper transferring the
equity of the former owner, Isaac
Bush.
In 1913, the records show, fore
closure proceedings were institute
ed against Bush by one Mather,
who claimed an equity in the
lands Bush had purchased, and
later sold to Lincoln. Rather than
pay $87.74 unpaid balance due on
the farm, Thomas Lincoln sur
rendered the Sinking Spring
Farm, where Abraham Lincoln
had been born, moved to Knob
Creek, eight miles distant, where
Lincoln spent most of his boyhood.
In 1916 the Sinking Spring
