Talk:Benjamin Lincoln

Untitled
I removed part of it which was incorrect, likely due to someone copying wrong. He did not die in the Battle of yorktown.

Is he any relation to Abraham Lincoln?


 * In the absence of any visible proof we have to assume he was not. It would, however, be fairly cool if he was.

I'm fairly certain that Benjamin and Abraham Lincoln share a common ancestor in Samuel Lincoln, one of Hingham's first settlers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.253.27.187 (talk) 17:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

According to this book, they are related: History of the Lincoln Family : An Account of the Descendants of Samuel Lincoln of Hingham, Massachusetts, 1637-1920 by Waldo Lincoln ++Arx Fortis (talk) 04:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

At the end of the introduction it says he was a descendant of Abraham Lincoln, yet at the end of the article it says he was of no direct relation. He was obviously no a descendant, but could have been an ancestor or other relation. If so the claim he was of no direct relation should be changed to define the relationship between the two. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.88.68 (talk) 03:12, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

According to Wikitree, Abraham and Benjamin are third cousins five times removed; Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Lincoln are both descendants of Robert Lincoln Jr.--67.244.41.210 (talk) 14:55, 10 September 2020 (UTC) S.Small

The Wikipedia article about the Lincoln family doesn't state any correlation. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there was one. ℂ𝕒𝕕𝕖 𝕂𝕚𝕞𝕓𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙 (talk) 15:24, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Recent genealogy additions
While it is interesting that genealogical work has been recently done to sort out Lincoln paternities, the web site cited as a reference appears to be a personal one, and the work smacks of original research by the contributor (see WP:SPS). If/when it is published in reliable sources (e.g. something like a journal of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, who might well be interested in this sort of information) it can be contributed to Wikipedia. (In the interim I think the article should avoid specific ancestry claims about this and other affected Lincolns.)  Magic ♪piano 16:48, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
