This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Lincoln,Rock, Jones Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oAB.2ACE/2539.1 Message Board Post: You are correct. I don't know whether this Thomas Lincoln was tied to Abraham Lincoln's father, but the Lincolns of what is now eastern Metcalfe and Green Counties were. I do not know if this Lincoln clan ever claimed that Thomas Lincoln lived among them, but they do claim the kinship, respectfully. This should be cleared up. As for the Jones family, I have done research on some of the lines in Barren, but have not come across any info on your line. If I do, I'll keep you in mind.
