Hello List, Thanks to Patricia Morano and others who caught my mistake. Earlier today I wrote that we visited Lincolns homeplace in Lincoln City, IN and I said that Nancy Hanks Lincoln, Abraham Lincolns first wife, is buried there in a cemetery I meant to say that his mother Nancy Hanks Lincoln was buried there, not his first wife. Thanks for catching my error..........I was thinking one thing, and wrote another.
