Nancy Hanks Lincoln (1784 – 1818) – Find A Grave Memorial

Nancy Hanks Lincoln

Birth: Feb. 5, 1784

Death: Oct. 5, 1818

Nancy was a Virginia native, moving to Kentucky where she met and married her husband Thomas Lincoln. She gave birth to three children. The Lincoln’s moved to Spencer County in southern Indiana in 1816 and constructed a cabin on Little Pigeon Creek. She soon took ill and struggled between life and death for a week. She passed away a mere two years after arriving in Indiana. Her husband Thomas constructed a coffin from pine cut from the property. He took the body via a sled to a nearby pioneer hill-top cemetery near the Lincoln farm. There was no religious cleric in the region so with Thomas Lincoln, his children and a few neighbors, Nancy Lincoln was interred without a formal religious service. The grave has endured a perilous trip to the present time. Other graves in the tiny cemetery, as well as that of Nancy’s were lost. Finally a family friend, erected a marker in an approximate location. Over the years, the site has been vandalized and allowed to become over grown with trees and brush. Only when the fame of her son President Lincoln was established, was a concerted effort made to preserve the grave location. Life was hard in the wilderness and a man with children could not remain without a wife for long. Thomas Lincoln quickly remarried. Abraham Lincoln was nine at the time of his mother’s death.

John Browning – Arkansas Gazette, Obituary 1944

From: Cindy Stamps

Obituary of John Browning from The Arkansas Gazette, 19 June, 1844, p.

3, col. 1, found at the Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives,

Washington, Arkansas; copied by hand, as there was no printer.

Died at his residence, Walnut Grove, Clark County, Arkansas, John

Browning in his 77th year. He was born in Caswell County, North

Carolina, on the 17th day of May, A. D. 1767; married at the age of 25

years; joined the Baptist Church at the age of 35, at Shiloh, Greene

County, Georgia; three months afterward was ordained deacon of the

church, the duties of which office he faithfully discharged during the

remainder of his pilgrimage on earth. At the age of 46, he entered the

army of General Floyd in the Creek Indian War as Captain of a volunteer

company. He performed an active part in the battles of Autasee and

Colebee. In the latter he had the honor of bleeding for his

country. In 1814, he was a member of the legislature of Georgia. In

1819, he removed to Alabama; in 1822, was a member of the legislature

of that state. He has been a member of 34 associations and more than

once moderator. In 1840, he emigrated to Arkansas, where he died 3 May

1844–a member of the Baptist Church at Mt. Bethel. The subject of this

notice was brought up in the distressing times of the American

Revolution. Consequently, he had not the advantages of a liberal

education; yet, his superiority of mind enabled him to discharge high

and important offices, in both church and state. He was of a lively and

cheerful disposition; always seemed desirous of making those happy

about him; plain in his manner; as a citizen, patriotic; as a neighbor,

obliging; as a parent, kind and indulgent; and as a companion, very

affectionate. He has left a companion, several children, and numerous

relations and friends to mourn the loss of so good a man. But one great

consolation they have, he died as he lived, in peace with mankind and

with his Maker. He has fulfilled the great end of his being and gone

hence to adorn the shiny courts of heaven.

“Softly his fainting head he lay

Upon his Saviour’s breast;

His Maker soothed his soul away,

And laid his flesh to rest.”

via Robert Hardy of Edgefield, SC and Coosa, Alabama.
