While reading the article about my gggrandmother Sarah Jones Dow she stated that she had an uncle that married into the Lincoln family. That uncle was William Dickerson- brother to my ggggrandmother Anne Dickerson. The woman that he married was Elizabeth Lincoln a cousin to Abraham. She was born in 1825 to John Lincoln and Francis Day. I have gone to Rootsweb and found the documentation that says this is true.
Sarah also stated that her mother Anne Dickerson was related to Stephen A. Douglas. I know that my gggggrandmother was Judith Douglas- but I have yet to find a connection to Stephen Douglas. I am sure that my grandmother Sarah knew this as a fact but she could have left a few more clues!
I will keep searching and hopefully find it. It would be great to find a connection to both of these famous political rivals!!

How awsome!!! Good luck with your continued search!
I just found your blog and am enjoying it very much. I am also doing genealogy research and like you I wonder about the lives they led, etc. Thank you for sharing your posts with us.
I am researching a distant relative, Elisha Linder, that traveled the circuit with Lincoln. From what I have found so far he was quite a drinker. LOL
HI Nacy- I am glad you enjoy my blog!
How wonderful you are doing research also! I can believe he may have been a drinker- there are a lot of things discovered when doing research!
