The only reason John Chapman was known to be called ''Johnny appleseed'', He wanted to be a pioneer and he knew the lord was the only one to tell him to set out to plant appleseeds all over the terrain in the village and across the valley. The name came from the anonymous character..? -Jason Otten

While it is physically possible that Abraham Lincoln could have met John Chapman (AKA "Johnny Appleseed") [note the corrected spelling of "Johnny"], since they were both living between the years 1809 (Lincoln's birth when Chapman was 35 years old) and 1845 (Chapman's death, 2 years before Lincoln took office in the House of Representatives and 16 years before he took office as President), there is no known documentation or proof that the two men met.
