Excerpt from The Lincoln Family Magazine, Vol. 1: Genealogical, Historical and Biographical; January 1916, to April 1917
The town of Hingham in Massachusetts is the virginal home of all the Lincolns in America. From the pioneers of Hingham all the Colonial families of Lincoln are descended and from County Norfolk in old England came the American pioneers.
The variants of the name - Linkhorn, Linkon, Lincon and Linkehorne were common in Hingham, England, just as they became common in the early New England settlements.
To one of the Hingham pioneers the ancestry of the Great Abraham has been traced, much more satisfactorily in the earlier stages than in the later, for the generations of Lincolns from 1750 to 1850, as applied to the martyred president, have never been fully detailed, nor have all the facts and data been fully known.
Of Lincoln genealogies, good, bad and indifferent, there have been published seven or eight volumes from the seven paged lineage by Shackford to the 212 paged book by Lea and Hutchinson, but there remains much that is vague and obscure.
The Lincoln Family Magazine will endeavor to preserve from the records of the past, the essentials in Lincoln history, biography and genealogy and will present many new and valuable facts, not only as regards the family of Abraham Lincoln, but of the other Lincoln families in this country, whose descendants number many thousand.
