My parents (both deceased) lived in Grinnell, IA, after they retired, and among their friends were two sisters, Nellie May Lincoln (1899-1988) and Hazel Lincoln (1903-1995), both born in Poweshiek Co, IA. Their parents were Edward and Mary Coutts Lincoln. Mary came from Insch (Aberdeenshire?) in Scotland. If you think they are related to you, email me and I could share a little information about these ladies. I do not find the names Edwin or Raymond in my notes, though. -- S. Newton, in California.

My Grandfather was Ernest Lincoln they lived in Grinnell Iowa. I was told they were Quakers. I have found put that they came to the states on the Dovenshire. My Great Grandfather I guess was hurt on the ship and was on bed rest most of the time, some thing about a barrell of potatoes fell on him. I think his name was Edwin Lincoln. I did see the grave sites and the head stone says he is from England and his wife from Scottland. I would like to be able to find pictures and other things about them, my Father was Raymond Lincoln born in grinnell Iowa and lived in Newton Iowa and Albert Lea Minnesota. He was 56 when I was born and his mom passed when he was about 2 and his Father passed before I was born my dad never really talked much about family but then again could be that I didnt really think to ask. I dont think he remembered that much either.
