Abraham Lincoln had four sons, and like most people they all died sooner or later. They were 1) Robert Todd Lincoln, Aug 1 1843 - July 25, 1926 2) Edward Baker Lincoln, Mar 10, 1846 - Feb 1, 1850 3) William Wallace Lincoln (Willie), Dec 21, 1850 - Feb 20, 1862 4) Thomas Lincoln (Tad), Apr 4, 1853 - July 15, 1871
There are two stories that need repeating.
(The first is commonly accepted.)
Thomas Lincoln died when he was only three days old. Dr. Daniel Potter was called in to treat Thomas but could not save the baby.
Note
The cause of death is unknown in this version. No birth certificate or death certificate was given. There is no evidence that Dr. Potter ever went to the Lincoln's cabin.
(The Second is almost unknown.)
Nancy Lincoln was married to Thomas Lincoln. Nancy Lincoln was having an affair with Samuel Davis. On the fourth of July 1811, Nancy and Samuel went on a picnic and horseback ride. At the picnic Thomas Lincoln was conceived. Six months later, January 1812, Nancy's husband was out on a drunk leaving Nancy alone to fend for herself and her two little children. Over night there was a deep snowfall and in the morning there was no wood in the firebox. Nancy was already exhausted from the constant, never ending, hard work and she had to go outside in the deep snow to get firewood. She overexerted herself and had a miscarriage. The baby was stillborn.
Edward Baker "Eddie" Lincoln died February 1, 1850, at the age of 3. He is generally thought to have died of tuberculosis, or "consumption," yet it has also been suggested that he died of a hereditary disease.
Robert Todd Lincoln lived 82 years, he had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage induced by arteriosclerosis, and died during the night, in his sleep.
His only son Abraham "Jack" Lincoln II, was born on August 14, 1873 and died on March 5, 1890 at the age of 16 in London, England. The cause of his death was blood poisoning.
