There are two stories that need repeating.

(The first story 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. No cause of death is known.

 

(The Second story 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.

Abraham Lincoln had an older sister and a younger brother. His older sister, Sarah died, just shy of her 22nd birthday, on January 20, 1828, in childbirth. (Her baby boy was stillborn). He was devastated at the news, as he and his sister were very close, as children. His younger brother Tommy was born in either 1811 or 1812, as the records were not clear. Tommy only lived 3 days.
