Biography

While it is known that Mordecai was the son Abraham Lincoln (1744-1786) and Bathsheba (Unknown) Lincoln (1746-1836), his exact birth and death are unknown. He is the subject of many stories. What we do know is that he married Mary Mudd, daughter of Luke Mudd and they had 6 children.[1] This is a pay to play link.

"Mordecai, near twenty years ago, removed from Kentucky to Hancock County, Illinois, where within a year or two afterwards he died, and where his surviving children now live. His two sons there now are Abraham and Mordecai, and their post office is 'LaHarp'."

I believe that this is the "Uncle Mord" that President Lincoln was aware of there in Illinois and I believe he made a reference to him in his papers.
