Abraham Lincoln

After so much time devoted to the research regarding direct ancestors only, it's time to come back to Mrs. Mary (Gant) Boone, and the indirect family connections. Just to remind you - Mary was the wife of our first cousin six times removed, Mr. Absalom Bobo Gant. Another famous person she links us to is Mr. Abraham Lincoln*.
