      Genealogy Books : ... Carpenter, LINCOLN, Northrup

      Pawlet for 100 Years by Hiel Hollister, pub. 1867. pages 210-211:
      Lincoln, Lewis, from Cheshire, Ma, 1837; settled at North Pawlet, in the carriage making business. He was agent of the union store during its existence from 1851 to 1861. His family consisted of two daughters, Lettie T. and Fidelia. Lettie T. was a graduate of Troy Conference Academy, and married Alonzo Raynor, of Evansville, Ind. Fidelia died of diptheria in 1864, aged 21. He removed to Indiana in 1865.

      Lincoln, Luther P. from Cheshire, Ma., 1837; m. Deborah, da. of Henry Wooster, Jr., and succeeded to his homestead. He removed to Fort Ann, NY some twenty years ago, and was instantly killed by being thrown from a wagon about 1862.

      May 1, 1997 SALT LAKE CITY, FHL:

      Massachusetts 1800 Census: Jonathan Lincoln, Berkshire Co, Lanesborough
      Neighbors as listed on the original census records show family
      names of people who migrated to Lanesborough from Connecticut:
      4 Nehemiah Talcott
      3 Nathan Green
      2 Abner Wilson (?)
      1 Elijah Loomis
      0 Jonathan Lincoln
      1 John Hall
      2 John Osborn (?)
      3 Thomas Goodrich
      4 John Woodson (?)
      (?) indicate problems deciphering the actual handwriting.

      IDEAS - 3/30/2001: LOREN WHETON LINCOLN - is most likely made of surnames - Loring and Wheton/Whedon/Weedon/Wheaton.
      Loring and Wheton and Lincoln families intermarried in Hull, Hingham and Taunton, MA. There were a number of JONATHANs in Wheton and Lincoln generations. There was a LORENE (as in Milton Lorene Lincoln) in Wheton line (where it was used for a female). I haven't a clue about FOTHON either by this spelling or other phonetic variations.
