"Abraham Lincoln was born in a one room log cabin, on the Sinking Springs Farm, near Hodgenville, Kentucky on February 12, 1809. To the proud parents of Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and named for his paternal grandfather" (Hubbard 2006). History has recorded the Lincoln Family as living in a little, almost square, cabin, with only three walls, in Hodgenville, Kentucky, for the next four years. Abraham had an older sibling, a sister named Sarah. "Sarah was two years and two days older than Abraham" (Hubbard 2006). There was also a third Lincoln sibling. His name was Tom Lincoln. Tom passed away in his infancy, and this was Abraham's first real personal dealings with death. Little did Abraham realize what his further would hold, because his next emotional issue would be dealing with the death of his own Mother. However, Nancy's death won't come until after they move from Knob Creek Farm, to Little Pigeon Creek in Indiana.
