While Abraham Lincoln was alive he had two sons that died as children. The first was Edward or 'Eddie' who died of what was listed as consumption. He was the second son of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln and died on February 1st, 1850. Their second son to die was William or 'Willy'. He died of typhoid fever on February 20th, 1862. Of the four Lincoln sons, only Robert, the first born, lived to see old age. He died July 26th, 1926 of a cerebral hemorrhage. The youngest son, Thomas or 'Tad', died at age 18 on July 1st, 1871.
Lincoln was a interesting man. Some historians think he had depression. In his life he lost 2 sons to disease, he had to fight a civil war throughout his presidency, and his wife would lock herself in a room. She took their sons deaths very hard. In pictures you can see the aging of Lincoln. He also had death threats against him all during his presidency.
George Washington died in December 1799; Abraham Lincoln was born in February 1809. Abraham Lincoln was not yet born when George Washington died. George Washington died in 1799. Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809, 10 years after George Washington died.
I am not sure any president's son died on Mt. Washington. Several presidents lived to see a son die-- Abraham Lincoln lost two young sons, Calvin Coolidge's son also died young... but they were not climbing mountains. Mr. Lincoln's son Eddie died at the age of four, probably from tuberculosis; another son, Willie, died at age 11, probably of typhoid. A third son, Tad lived only to the age of 18 and died of heart disease. Calvin Coolidge's son was also in his teens when he died of blood poisoning. Another president whose sons died was Franklin Pierce-- his young son Frank died at age four, from typhus, and his son Benjamin died in a railroad accident at age 11. (You asked about George Washington, but he and Martha did not have children, so no son of theirs died.)
Three US Presidents had sons who died during their terms. President Lincoln's son, Willie Lincoln, was the only president's son to die in the White House, in 1862. He was 12 years old. President Coolidge's son, Calvin, died less than a year into his father's presidency, in July, 1924. He was 16 years old. President Kennedy had a son, Patrick, who was born prematurely and died on August 9, 1963. He was only 2 days old.
