Hi Roy, In our family was a story that my gr gr gr grandfather knew Lincoln. Most of us scoffed at this until I was doing some family research.Low and behold where was Woolery's name with Lincoln's in the Black Hawk wars.Kind of figured the old timers were just having a little fun with the kids up until that time. Oh,by the way Granddad Woolery couldn't stand him. We have now found through other family members old letters.He called Lincoln "that ______ railroad lawyer!" Carol
