Samuel Lincoln

[3] Having grown up in meager circumstances due to a family squabble in which his wealthy grandfather disinherited his earlier children, Samuel Lincoln became an apprentice weaver under Francis Lawes of Norwich, England.

[4][5] In 1637, Lincoln left England for the New World with Lawes' family, embarking on a ship named John & Dorothy.

After Thomas’ death, he left a great deal of his property, including several house lots, to Samuel and his nephews.

President Abraham Lincoln is honored by a bust in the church of St Andrew's in Hingham, Norfolk, England, unveiled in a 1919 ceremony by then-American Ambassador John W.

[12] Samuel Lincoln's father Edward, who remained in Hingham, England, died on 11 February 1640, and was buried in the graveyard of St Andrew's Church.
