Is your last name Lincoln or do you know anyone with the name?

[@crimineyjenkins1]

I have not met anyone with the last name of Lincoln (that I know of), but, my husband and I used to own a Lincoln Towncar (if that counts).

Can you provide the link for the music in this video?

[@gehenna14]

You should a video about if there are any descendants of Hideki tojo Since you've done hitler and stalin and churchill etc

[@LewisLittle66]

There's a woman I currently work with whose last name is Lincoln. We're in the UK but she's originally from somewhere in the USA (not sure what state, and I don't know her well enough to ask). Whether she is related to Abe or not, I have no idea.

[@matthewgliatto7339]

I am grateful to live in an era when having four children implies a strong probability of having four *adult* children one generation later.

[@ormondomaha]

It should be pointed out that not all places called Lincoln in the United States are named after Abraham. Several (including counties in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee) are named after Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810), who was a major general during the Revolutionary War. Levi Lincoln Sr. (1749-1820) was Attorney General of the USA during the administration of Thomas Jefferson, and his sons Levi Lincoln Jr. (1782-1868) and Enoch (1788-1829) were later Governors of the states of Massachusetts and Maine, respectively, well before Abraham Lincoln was President. Levi and his sons were descendants of Samuel Lincoln, Jr., who was an older brother of the Mordecai you mention in this video.

[@CJMapping]

They were still like 5th cousins of Abe

[@theOlLineRebel]

Thank you. Nice to know the others. I’m very aware of Benjamin Lincoln as a fan of the RevWar so being in the south doesn’t surprise me. Except that he was infamous for losing Charles Town in surrender.

[@kenaikuskokwim9694]

The irony is that Benjamin was 100% Yankee. The far less popular (in the South) Abraham was only ⅛. Lincoln, Massachusetts was named directly for the English city, Lincoln, New Hampshire for the Earl of Lincoln. Lincoln, Vermont was named by a founder who had served under Gen. Benjamin Lincoln.

[@theOlLineRebel]

@@kenaikuskokwim9694 Yes, but so was RI native Nathaniel Greene, who ended up heading the southern theater and was very popular. Granted property in the Carolinas.

[@Farm_Emo]

My 2nd grade teacher was a niece of his down the line. But she passed from cancer.

[@phazerxp339]

May she rest in peace.

[@priyadarshi8548]

Okay with all those details about Abraham Lincoln I am even more impressed by him (especially fighting zombies)

[@lamarhenderson8058]

"Just a tad confusing." I see what you did there.

I'm a third or fourth (not entirely sure) many times removed cousin of Benjamin Franklin!

[@darreljones8645]

There are many non-related to Abe Lincolns living in the USA today. Many are African Americans whose ancestors had no surname prior to emancipation, so adopted Lincoln after you-know-who.

[@cdanerz3677]

Indeed where I'm from in the Norfolk (England) Lincoln is a common name but it's not common as Dack but a handful amount

[@Iva-s2b]

I love your channel!

[@gavinsmith9871]

TIL Lincoln's son was alive during WW1.

[@michaeltnk1135]

If that surprises you, you’ll be shocked to learn that a man who witnessed Lincoln’s assassination was alive until 1956

[@muhammedjaseemshajeef6781]

That's crazy

[@AgneteLauritzenen]

Your channel is a real KZbin gem where every video is a little work of art. Keep up the great work 🚁🎮🐌

[@PockASqueeno]

I didn’t know Tom Hanks was related to Abe Lincoln, but now that I think about it, he does slightly resemble him.

[@LincolnLoud-l7k]

Me, of course.

[@bowaxer7952]

Fascinating video. It’s always so curious to learn about the modern descendants of such monolithic figures.

[@Bacopa68]

Real question is why are there so many Lincolns in Mauritius?

[@Illumisepoolist]

I also heard there's a dentist actor I think who's a descendant of Lincoln.

[@r.morris5589]

the question is will we ever have another Washington, Reagan, or Nixon.

[@theOlLineRebel]

LOL indeed, except maybe Nixon….

[@svon1]

RTL is a German TV channel with "Jersey Shore"-ish programs... the German TLC... do with that information what you want :D

ROFL…indeed.

[@hoangkimviet8545]

Patrick: "Are there any Lincolns left?" Me: "Yes, why not? In Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick as well as in Alabama, Arkansas, California, etc and in the United Kingdom as well."

[@mitchelmodine9197]

Abraham Lincoln inventor of the choke slam...brilliant

[@HalfEye79]

Abraham Lincoln even was a figure in a book from Karl May (end of the 19th century to begin of th 20th century). But I can't remember anymore, which book it was. What I know is that in this book was in the Wild West and trained for speeches.

[@brenatevi]

Vasectomies can fail.

[@lesterstone8595]

Yes, the cut parts can reconnect. It has happened many times. The your vas deferens can reconnect months or years later.

[@Chrome166]

I know a woman whose maiden name was Lincoln, a direct descendant. She didn't pass on the name, but she exists. 😂 Edit: Okay, now I'm having my doubts about that claim. The "direct descendant" part was probably a miscommunication.

[@aidanwotherspoon905]

Could be one of the great grandchildren deciding to go by the family name with the most prestige

[@sohopedeco]

There is a Lincoln family who immigrated to Brazil from America after the Civil War. I studied with a girl who bore that family name in middle and high school here in Brazil.

[@Bob-ew1hx]

Does anyone know where he got the music from in this video?

[@JayTemple]

I'm frankly surprised that Texas would name anything after Lincoln.

[@theOlLineRebel]

As someone mentioned, it’s likely after Gen. Benjamin Lincoln of the RevWar, who was stationed in the south. He infamously surrendered Charles Town to the Brits.

[@TheAmazingDoorknob]

If lincoln was the inventor of the chokeslam, then it isnt too far fetched that he invented the rocket jump in the tf2 universe

Vasectomies are not always 100% effective, so it’s certainly possible that he conceived a child afterwards.

[@SeaJayZero]

that's what i ask when i peer into my sack of five dollar bills

[@guyfaux3978]

Andrew Lincoln of the TV series The Walking Dead is not really a "Lincoln" (his birth name is "Clutterbuck," which sounds like a euphemism for a completely shambolic turn of events, and you can see why he MIGHT want to use a different professional name).

[@tinahs8269]

Oh, I didn't know that

[@navneethballal9427]

Vasectomy =/= Castration. Vasectomies are not infallible.

[@mitchelmodine9197]

should have hypenated the names

Imma be honest man... The audio sounds almost like you are speaking it through a paper towel roll... I don't know how to explain it any better than that, good video otherwise!

[@thetrison]

Please don't say "big everything" in this day and age.

[@r.morris5589]

Obama and Biden acted like Lincoln

[@matthewgliatto7339]

I don’t think they were nearly as great as Lincoln was, but all three of those men were preceded by one of the worst presidents in history, and all three of them managed to re-stabilize and improve the country, in stark contrast to their inept predecessors.

[@Chance_Rice]

[@tinahs8269]

More fun trivia Abe Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy and President Kennedy had a secretary named Evelyn Lincoln. Both men were replaced by vice presidents named Johnson as well. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln%E2%80%93Kennedy_coincidences_urban_legend

[@Axel-hw6hk]

I am a 1st cousin 8 times removed of Abraham Lincoln, but through his mother’s side (his mother was an illegitimate child but had half-siblings with the last name Sparrow, which is the way I’m related to him).
