    Notes:

    Family history says that she is the daughter of Mordecai Lincoln, uncle to Abraham Lincoln.

    There is no doubt about Rebecca Mary Lincoln's marriage to Wales Warren, but no proof exists that she was Mordecai's daughter or even a descendant of his.

    The dates are more than a century off.
    Mordecai b. 1686, Hingham, MA. Children:
    John, b. 1716
    Deborah, b. 1718
    Mary, b. 1719
    Hannah, b. 1720
    Anne
    Sarah
    Mordecai; b. 1730
    Thomas, b. 1732
    Abraham, b. 1736.

    Mary Rebecca, wife of Wales was b. 1839. Even if she was the daughter of Mordecai's son, Mordecai, we're still 109 years off.
