(from an obituary): "Mrs. Amanda Hanks,95, was the widow of John William Hanks ,a relative of Nancy Hanks, Abraham Lincoln's mother.
Mrs. Hanks was born November 5, 1863, at Barnesville, Ohio. On July 7, 1880, she was married to Mr. Hanks at Nashville, Indiana. His parents had lived in the same settlement in Kentucky where Lincoln spent his early years. Mr. Hanks' relationship to Nancy Hanks was traced through his uncle, Abner Hanks, who was a cousin of Lincoln's mother. (NOTE: ABOVE IT SAID NANCY & ABNER WERE SIBLINGS)

"Ancestry. Lincoln's paternal ancestry has been traced, in an unbroken line, to Samuel Lincoln, a weaver's apprentice from Hingham, England, who settled in Hingham, Mass., in 1637. From him the line of descent came down through Mordecai Lincoln of Hingham and of Scituate, Mass.; Mordecai of Berks county, Pa.; John of Berks county and of Rockingham county, Va.; and Abraham, the grandfather of the president, who moved from Virginia to Kentucky about 1782, settled near Hughes Station, east of Louisville, and was killed in an Indian ambush in 1786.
Abraham's youngest son, Thomas, who became the father of the president, was born in Rockingham county, Va., on Jan. 6, 1778.
Nancy Hanks, whom Thomas Lincoln married on June 12, 1806, and who became the mother of the president, remains a shadowy figure. Her birth date is uncertain, and descriptions of her are contradictory. Scholars despair of penetrating the tangled Hanks genealogy, and the legitimacy of Nancy's birth is a subject of argument. Lincoln, himself, apparently believed that his mother was born out of wedlock. In either case, Nancy came of lowly people. Reared by her aunt, Betsy Hanks, who married Thomas Sparrow, she was utterly uneducated.
Children: Sarah Lincoln, was born on Feb. 10, 1807; Abraham Lincoln, born 12 Feb 1809
Thomas Lincoln married 2nd: Sarah Bush Johnston (a widow with three children) on Dec. 2, 1819.
1831--Abe Lincoln, stepbrother John D. Johnston, and his cousin John Hanks took a flatboat cargo to New Orleans.
