Joseph Hanks

Replica of Joseph Hanks's cabin at Mike's Run in what is now Mineral County, West Virginia. The cabin was rebuilt in 1927 for the Nancy Hanks Memorial. Joseph Hanks (1725–1793) was the great-grandfather of United States President Abraham Lincoln. It is generally accepted that Joseph was the father of Lucy Hanks, the mother of Nancy Hanks Lincoln. There is also a theory that Joseph and his wife, Ann ("Nannie"), had a son named James who married Lucy Shipley, sired Nancy Hanks, but died before Lucy and Nancy came to Kentucky.

Joseph Hanks' children and grandchildren figure prominently in Abraham Lincoln's youth. Provided by Wikipedia
