Biography
- Sarah Lincoln, older sister of the future 16th president of the United States, was born 10 February 1807 in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. She was the first-born child of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks. When Nancy Hanks died in 1818, eleven-year old Sarah had to step up and run the household, consisting of her father, brother, and cousin Dennis Hanks, who was living with them. A little more than a year later she was relieved of much of the responsibility when her father remarried.
- Sarah married Aaron Grigsby in Indiana in August of 1826. She died in childbirth on 20 January 1828, just over a year after her marriage. The child was stillborn. [1]
