Excerpt from Kentucky, Ancestral Homes: Hardin Thomas House Built by Thomas Lincoln Efforts to prove that Thomas Lincoln (father of the Sixteenth President) built the Hardin Thomas house, which is still standing near Elizabethtown, continue despite the lack of documentary records to nail down the facts. Up to date, the best information on the subject is to be found in Samuel Haycraft Jr's. A History of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and its Surroundings, written in 1869. On page 123, Chapter XXXII, Haycraft made the following statement: He (hardin Thomas) lived in a house rather better than usual for that day, the carpenter work of which was executed by Thomas Lincoln, the father of the late president; and the most of that work is to be seen at this day, sound as a trout, although done upwards of sixty years ago. Another Haycraft reference appears on page 55 of the Elizabethtown history as follows: He (jack Thomas) was born on the 7th day of February, 1790. His father (hardin Thomas) resided in a house the joiner's work of which was done by Thomas Lincoln, father of the president. Some of the descendants of Hardin Thomas contend that Jack Thomas was born in the cabin home in 1790 and that if Thomas Lincoln built the cabin it would have to be prior to 1790. Historians who have worked through Kentucky court house records are convinced that Thomas Lincoln was born in 1776, although President Abraham Lincoln probably believed that his father was born in 1778.

Excerpt from The Kentucky Influence on the Life of Abraham Lincoln: Address at Annual Meeting, Lincoln Fellowship of Wisconsin, Madison, February 13, 1961 In the newly organized state of Illinois Abraham Lincoln was to meet several men who had begun their political apprenticeships back in Kentucky. Two of these were Usher F. Linder and John J. Hardin. John Hardin was of the famous Nelson County family, and disported himself as an aristocrat in the new country. Back across the Ohio his father had long been Secretary of State in Kentucky, and at least one of his relatives was one of the state's most successful attorneys. Hardin in time was to offer serious opposition to Lincoln, and had he not lost his life in the Mexican War he might have continued to do so. A third Kentuckian of aristocratic bearing and background was Ninian Edwards who had once practiced law in Hardin County, served in the statelegislature, and became chief justice of the Court of Appeals before he moved to Illinois Territory in 1809 to become governor. But none of these expatriate Kentuckians was to have the enduring influence on Lincoln of Joshua Speed of Louisville. The story is well-known of the young legislator from the Sangamon and his sharing a room and bed with the Kentucky merchant. Speed was to re main for Lincoln throughout life a source of personal refuge in the dark moments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
