So a DNA test could be done. Recently, a mitochondrial DNA project resolved a controversy over Nanvy Hanks' maternal lineage...the same could be donor Lincoln's paternal lineage. If the Enloe story is true, it wouldn't make Lincoln's legacy any less. On the contrary, it would make him more human and would be a terrific study into how these things were done back then on the frontier.MikeChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11461773443106885231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367792288912698392.post-52886957674549382532016-07-17T11:03:43.258-05:002016-07-17T11:03:43.258-05:00As I write this, I am watching a National Geograph...As I write this, I am watching a National Geographic cable program, "Lincoln"s Secreat Killer." The program establishes that there are many items with Lincoln's blood from the night of his death. In fact, the program's purpose is to sample Lincoln's DNA from assasination artifacts to determine if Lincoln suffered fron a genetic disorder "N2NB" rather than Marfan's Disease. The test was unsucessful and the sample could not be verified as Lincoln's blood sample.<br /><br />I believe that the Abrahm Enloe/Tom Lincoln question will ultimately be answered. Kentucky and Illinois may may not like the outcome.

Someone wiped the blood off his head with a handkerchief. That Handkerchief is located in the National Archives. There was a theory some years ago that Lincoln suffered from Marfan's syndrome. Blood from the aforementioned handkerchief was tested for Marfan's Syndrome. It was found that Lincoln did not suffer from Marfan's Syndrome. However, the blood can be tested to see if Lincoln's male DNA matches descendants of Abraham Enloe.Iginio Fitzpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176924857394016900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367792288912698392.post-77450148069757616402015-10-17T03:15:44.276-05:002015-10-17T03:15:44.276-05:00William Herndon spoke with Lincoln's step moth...William Herndon spoke with Lincoln's step mother and in one of her quotes he wrote down she mentions the Enloes.

The story concerns Abe Lincoln only until he leaves Kentucky to move to Indiana. The rest of the story concerns the Enloes and Nancy Hanks.<br /><br />I was born in Watauga County, in the north west North Carolina mountains, quite a distance from Rutherford County. When I was ten years old, (56 years ago) I told my grandmother we were studying the "War Between the States," (a title she insisted upon) and Abraham Lincoln. I expected her to make some negative statement about Lincoln. Instead, she said, "Old Abe wasn't all bad. You know, he was born in North Carolina."<br /><br />That remark remained with me but not until I began to read about the Rutherford connection did I wonder how my grandmother, that far away from Rutherford County, had heard that particular story. <br /><br />Later, I learned that some family members had moved to Madison County, and other points south of us in the late 1800's and must have heard the story and repeated it to the cousins they left behind.<br /><br />I became intrigued with the story and the more I researched the more convinced I was that it had a sound basis.<br /><br />Maybe when DNA is done (and it will, eventually) we will know the truth.

He was named Abraham Lincoln Enloe. My Mother was born Irene Fuller in Oklahoma in December of 1895. My Grandmother Fuller died of TB in 1910 and her brother Uncle Abe lived many more years. He had a son and daughter and was murdered along with his son while on horses in Texas. My Great Grandfather was a Enloe. It is all interesting to me.

Often you will discover that it is anything but "established" or "proven". After almost a full year of book talks and lectures on my novel and its connection to the Enloe theory, and having lots of vigorous debates, I still have yet to see any conclusive evidence for either theroy. Truth is that both our accepted theory and the Enloe theory of oral histories with equal evidentiary support. That tells me both should be in history books.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387705203058532050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367792288912698392.post-17355615371210462932009-09-23T21:50:58.444-05:002009-09-23T21:50:58.444-05:00Oops - how did that happen?

That argument simply ignores the other half of the President's genetic make-up - his mother, Nancy Hanks. In fact, however, I have a copy of a photograph of Josiah Lincoln, brother of Thomas Lincoln, which truly does bear a striking resemblance to President Lincoln. I'm happy to give my URL to anyone interested in seeing a photo comparison.

That story has been told for many, many years and hasn't changed a bit. We know the truth in NC, despite what historians want you to think. As a child growing up in school, we were often told of Abraham Lincoln's "real" father, we would visit his grave, but no one explained to us the name difference. He is buried in Murphy, NC in the one of the town's oldest cemetaries. My question is, why are we so quick to believe what is printed in history books when we are aware that historians have written certain aspects of the past untruthfully.

The best we can say is that Abraham Lincoln probably believed and certainly officially told others that he was the son of Thomas Lincoln. But he might have been the last to know the truth. Bottom line is that short of DNA testing, it is a mystery with most of the world accepting the standard story that Abraham Lincoln was the son of Thomas Lincoln with out really personally examining and weighing the evidence in support of that theory. <BR/>A good historian starts with a blank slate, gets original documents, considers all evidence in the context of its timing, source, and verifiability, and then writes an opinion supported by evidence and explanatory of why the historian belives a particular version to be true vice others.John McKinseyhttp://www.thelincolnsecret.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367792288912698392.post-67820841721025951962009-02-09T17:17:00.000-06:002009-02-09T17:17:00.000-06:00There is a book by a couple of professors which ha...There is a book by a couple of professors which has a picture of an Enloe and it looks startingly like Lincoln.
