This question seems to have been around a long time and some people think
Dennis Friend was not a trustworty source.
I would have to find this book again to get the full story, but J. Henry
Lea in his 1909 book, The Ancestry of Lincoln said on p. 108 (the only page
I copied) that Nancy Sparrow was confused by some of the early biographers
with Nancy Hanks. Nancy Sparrow married Charles Friend, brother of Jesse
Friend, who married Polly Hanks (daughter of Joseph). In a footnote, Lea
says
"Charl
Hi David,
I can't seem to get thru to your web site. What am I doing wrong?
I have very little on my HANKS family and would love to know more about my
Grandmothers family.
Thanks for sharing,

Many Thanks to Michelle Ule for forwarding this information to me. This
question has come up several times lately and is a warning to all of us
genealogists.
PRIVACY AND THE WEB

Would you post personal information about your family -- like
their birth dates and who they married and when -- on the local
grocery store's bulletin board? You wouldn't? Then don't post
it on your home page on the World Wide Web -- that's the world's
bulletin board
Sorry that it has taken me so long to get back with this. Things have
really been crazy around here. Thanks to all of you for all your
patience. If you sent me an e-mail about your Hanks, I have not
for gotten you, I just have not had time to really get into the
family history lately. Hopefully I can now. Maybe there will be no
more disasters in my family, we have had enough for one year. The
latest is my only sister's husband, he had a massive stroke 2 weeks
ago, and is in rehab now. He will be okay but t
Lynn, This same conversation is referenced in Rev. Wim. E. Barton's work
"The Lineage of Lincoln", (Bobbs-Merrill, 1929) and the illegitimacy is
seemingly substantiated by comments from Dennis friend, also noted in the
book.
Thanks for the reference, and happy hunting.

Hi Marsil,
Thanks so much for your help and offer to ask around among your friends.
Sudie is her given name. She is in one of the 1800's Powell census with her
father, Van C. and Rebecca, her mother. There are other Hanks but I don't
know who belongs to who....... Please keep me in mind.
Thanks for sharing and caring,
Judith
Where do I subcribe to the Hanks Historical Review ?

Hi Terri,

Grandparents:
SUDIE HANKS: b. Aug. 11, 1896 Powell Co. Ky. ( Sudie was an only child )
MARION MARTIN: June 17, 1885 Powell Co. Ky.

GrGrandparents:
VAN C. HANKS: b. Aug. 28, 1855 Powell Co. Ky.
REBECCA MYERS: b. abt. 1855
Now I have confussion, I'm not sure who goes where.

I am researing the surname Hanks. My husband's line is thru Fielden

Lydia was daughter of JOhn Harper and Mary Pearl Day Back according
to an article in the Hazel Green Herald upon her death.
Was Lydia married previously? Anyone have anything they are willing

I am new to the HANKS list and wondered if anyone is researching this
line of HANKS (at bottom). I also noticed generetion 5 & 6 of a HANKS
family in a previous post and was hoping somone could catch me up by
resending privately if there were previous generations posted.
Family stories say our line of HANKS is related to Nancy HANKS LINCOLN.
Having heard this from more than one researcher, as well, I would like
to see if it proves out.
Thanks,

Hi Marsil,
I too believe my HANKS are from the XFiles. Maybe you can helme put my HANKS
together. I know I'm kin to Fielden, but don't know how yet. I know my
Grandmother is a missing link tho because no one knows about her family of
HANKS. Maybe because she was an only child.
Below is som information on Fielden and My HANKS. Any jhelp would be greatly
appreciated.
Fielden's wife was Lydia Harper, a full-blood Choctaw Indian and daughter of
John and Mary Ann Harper, who helped defend Fort Boonesboro

In the most recent edition of the Hanks Historical Review (Vol VIII, Iss 2;

Abraham Lincoln ancestry and 2) want to really find out the identity of
Nancy Hanks.

related to Abraham Lincoln through Nancy Hanks, I would rather just find my

Ebenezer HANKS had a son named Marion Lyman Hanks, b. 27 May 1884 in
Hanksville, Utah, however he died young on 14 January 1891. Ebenezer and his
cousins Ephraim Knowlton Hanks and Sydney Alvarus Hanks were among the
original Mormon Pioneers. Ebenezer and Ephraim both served in Co. E of the
Mormon Battalion.
If you're interested in reading a fascinating story I recommend the "Ebenezer
Hanks Story", by Kerry William Bate available on microfilm #1033891, item #3
at the FHC.
