Notes for John “Virginia John” Lincoln
Husband of Rebekah (Flowers) Lincoln and g-grandfather of President Abraham Lincoln.
Biography: John Lincoln, son of Mordecai Lincoln and his wife Hannah, was born May 3, 1716 in Freehold, New Jersey. He went from New Jersey to Pennsylvania with his father and was taxed at Uniontown, Fayette County, PA in 1758. He later removed with his neighbors to Rockingham County, VA. Rockingham was still part of Augusta County at the time and was not organized until 1779.
As revealed in his will, John and Rebekah Lincoln had the following children :
Abraham Lincoln (born May 13, 1744).
Hannah Lincoln (born March 9, 1748).
Lidia [Lydia] Lincoln (born March 9, 1748).
Isaac Lincoln (born March 5, 1750).
Jacob Lincoln (born November 6, 1751).
John Lincoln (born July 15, 1755).
Sarah Lincoln (born September 18, 1757).
Thomas Lincoln (born October 23, 1761).
Rebecca Lincoln (born April 18, 1767).
In his 1786 will, John Lincoln also made a bequest of five pounds to his "GrandDaughter Hanna Bryan"; i.e., Hannah (Bryan) McDaniel. Hannah, still single, was the only grandchild named in the will. In that day, bequests to a grandchild ordinarily were made when that grandchild's father was deceased. Since Hannah was a Bryan, we can also assume that her mother was a daughter of John Lincoln who had married a Bryan. On May 15, 1788, Hannah Bryan was married to Henry McDonald a/k/a McDaniel [recorded in a single 1798 deed with both spellings of his name].
In 1793, John Lincoln's neighbor, Thomas Bryan, wrote his will and bequeathed 30 acres to his "well beloved grand Daughter Hannah McDonnald". Finally, a 1796 plat was drawn for Thomas Bryan's heirs designating 30 acres of land for "Hannah Bryan now McDonald" (emphasis added). Hannah was in fact a daughter of John Lincoln's daughter, Lydia, and her first husband, Benjamin Bryan, son of Thomas.
