Biography

This person is an ancestor of President Abraham Lincoln.

16th US President

Rebecca was a great-grandmother of President Abraham Lincoln. According to Paul H. Verduin, a noted authority on Lincoln's antecedents and long-time General Secretary of The Abraham Lincoln Institute, Rebecca's maiden name was Flower, not Flowers. It also may be that the name was originally Flohr, a German surname pronounced much like the Scottish pronunciation of the word flower; i.e., flu-er.

In fact, one 18th-century Flohr family in Adams County, Pennsylvania is found in some records with the spelling Flower.

Compare: (1) Adams County baptisms of children of Leonard Flohr/Flor [F. Edward Wright's "Adams County Church Records "] with (2) the Adams County tax list, which lists Leonard and two other Flohr men as Flower [Warner, Beers & Co.'s "History of Cumberland and Adams Counties "].

9, " on the south of VanPelt's. All three tracts are several times longer east-to-west than north-to-south so that Lincoln and Bryan were much closer neighbors than might sound from the acreages.
