Message Board Post:
Thank you for responding to my post on ancestry .com, and I apologize for
not responding sooner. I have not checked the site for some time as I did
not see any response. My late Aunt (Maiden name Chamberlin) said the
Lincoln name was somehow related to are former President - I have no clue
as to the validity of her statements. All I know is that originally my
Chamberlins came from upstate NY, they later moved south to CT., and my
Father then grew up in Bridgeport CT. My Grandfather owned at least one
stationery store in CT. - there may have been more.. Any info on my
Chamberlin family would be greatly appreciated and maybe I could help
answer qany questions you might have.
Thank You
Peter L. Chamberlin
Just a note on this. I've studied the Lincoln line quite thoroughly from
his family down and unless behind Abraham's father there are no
Lincolns. I've found nothing proven behind his father, although someone
else might. There are Hanks from his mother's side, one being the actor
Tom Hanks, but no male Lincoln descendents had children. Abe's father and
brother were killed in a massacre. His only son to live to adulthood had
no children. Good luck on your search. Glenora Chamberlin
