• 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.
