Am I related to Abraham Lincoln?

To be related my direct ancestor Mary Elizabeth HANKS who married Jesse William PEARMAN had to be related to Nancy HANKS, Abraham Lincoln’s mother.

I’ve known about the possibility for years but the parentage of Nancy Lincoln made it impossible for any proof. But DNA has made the impossible possible.

COFFMAN “cousins” — it is a definite possibility. See my research page, Is My “Mary Hanks Related to Abraham Lincoln?. I should have known for sure & documented it (genealogy without documentation is mythology) within the next few days.

If you are related via Harmon COFFMAN’s second wife, Elizabeth B PEARMAN, then you’ll be related too. If you are a descendent of his first wife, Elender MILLER, then sorry — you won’t be.
