I have no connection to this family, but found this while doing other research. This appeared in the June 3, 1884 issue of the Rockland (Maine) Gazette in the “Washington” column:

“Nathaniel Lincoln, one of our aged and respected citizens who has been confined to his bed with sickness for the last six weeks, is now and has been for the last three weeks, lying in a quiet painless though conscious state. The first part of his sickness was attended with great suffering, and it is a satisfaction to his devoted friends and attendants to know that he is not suffering, though they suppose him to be gradually sinking and wasting away. No gloom is felt to visiting his sick room, which may be attributed to the well-ordered life of the one who so patiently awaits his final summons. His age is 82 years.”

If you are looking at LDS records, forget it. They are hopelessly corrupt. No one verifies the info before posting it.

Daniel Lincoln born 1686 Taunton, MA had wife Susannah and was a grandson of Thomas the miller. There is no record of any of them going back to England. And he is buried in the “North Burying Ground” (the Plain Cemetery) on Broadway in Taunton, MA.

I am researching Pittsburgh lawyer Edwin M Stanton. He is full of coincidences. So when I see a coinnidence about the Stanton/Lincoln connection, I have to ask.

As you know, Lincoln Highway was named after Abraham Lincoln. It seems a very big conicidence that Henry Isaac Lincoln would own a building that is being used today as the National Headquarters for the Lincoln Highway Association.

1850 census shows found Dennis Lincoln living with, Abigail, presumed mother/son. Next door is James Lincoln and wife Lucy Loretta (Benson) Lincoln. Presumed Abigail may also be Mother of neighbor James.

Recently found appropriately aged (80 yo) Abigail Lincoln in 1860 living with Isasc Albey (Albee) and wife Sophronia (Sophia) in Bennington, Wyoming Co, New York…and appropriately aged Dennis Lincoln nearby. Other finds indicate Sophronia/Sophia’s maiden was Lincoln and that she and Isaac Albey/Albee married in Dorset, VT prior to moving to NY. Also, states that Sophia Lincoln’s father was Elias Lincoln…husband of Abigail? James, Sophia, and Dennis siblings? Don’t know yet…still looking.

There is a book out titled The Life of Hunter John Myers by CSA Col John Esten Cooke. That’s my name Myers and I have been trying to back track my riverboat Myers family living in Pittsburgh in the mid 1700′s when George Washington was running about Pittsburgh doing survey work.

Col John Esten Cooke wrote 4 books.

The Life of Thomas Jefferson
The Life of Robert E Lee
The Life of Hunter John Myers
The Life of Alexander Spotswood Dandridge

Hunter John Myers had a friend named Hunter Tim Murphy. You can read about him in the book the life of Hunter Tim Murphy by John Brick.

What all these people have in common is a connection to General Benjamin Lincoln and a Battle at Stratoga when Hunter Tim Murphy killed English General Frazer with one shot at 400 yards. Thus winning the Battle of Saratoga.

This act would have gone by the wayside except for Teddy Roosevelt wanting to place a monument on Hunter Tim Murphy’s gravesite not far from the Murphy Farm in Middleburg NY.

The people who designed the monument were Henry Bacon and Evelyn B Longamen and it was placed in Middleburg Oct 14 1910. By records several thousand people attended.

I am thinking hey, that’s the same group who designed the Lincoln Monument in Washington DC.

So I have traced the Myers family to Pittsburgh lawyer Edwin M Stanton.

So now we have one great big coincidence.

There is more to this with records on Edwin M Stanton’s second wife Ellen Hutchison of the wealthy Pittsburgh Hunchison shipping family.

Writer Benjamin P Thomas writes in his book STANTON on page 68 that Ellen Hutchison was a descendent of Meriwether Lewis. By coincidence John Esten Cooke is buried just 25 ft from Virgina Gov Edmund Jennings Randolph who was Thomas Jefferson’s cousin.

It seems to me Thomas Jefferson had something to do with Meriwether Lewis and the Lewis and Clark Expedition out of Pittsburgh in 1803.

In this day and age of blogs everyone is researching and looking up information. But Blogs still seem to lack one key factor, a place to actually start and continue a discussion. Oh yes there are comments, but they seem to lack something because sometimes you can never tell who is really talking to who.

That is where Enchanted Family is making a new change. We have added a new forum for you to enjoy. A place where you can start up new discussions and join in on old ones. So lets get started because the best part of Genealogy is finding new family.

Everyone has family links and ties, so maybe you did not find a link within the Enchanted Family.  You can try posting a message on the forum under the section “LOOKING FOR”  You never know who might see it and be able to help you out.

Anyway, This is just one more way the Enchanted Family is getting more Enchanted!
