IF YOU HAVEN’T LOOKED AT THE DISCUSSION ON MORDECAIS WIFE…PLEASE GO TO HER AND READ.
I will put this on both Mary’s. I have one last inquiry I am waiting for…from The Boone Society. I have come to the conclusion there was only one Mary Webb and that one was married to John Sterrett.
Unless you have further info to the contrary, Mordecai Lincoln did not marry a Mary Webb or if he did, she is not related to John and Mary Boone Webb. All source material is secondary except for the Find a Grave. And even that for the Mary Webb Lincoln, there is a statement she was a Ward, nota Webb.
when I get a response from the Boone Society, I will post their answer here. Also, consider this: Either the Webbs, the Lincolns, or possibly someone from the Lincoln ..what was their motivation to attach a great uncle of the President, to the Boones? There was already another Boone who married a Lincoln. And who is this Mary Ward? Secondary sources always mention that could be Mordecais wife..I haven’t found her yet.
hello i trying to find sources for his wife but i came to find this Find a grave page for him and they use the "III" on his name and that all the birth year and death year match along with the two children that it has match 2 out of the 4 you have.
While he may or may not have used the III, in my family, that is the way we distinguish between he and his father and grandfather. I am a descendant of his sister, Sarah
