With the federally-mandated changeover to digital television broadcasting going into effect February 17, 2009, you may be wondering what is so special about a digital tuner. In order to receive television programming, you'll need to have one, so here's the scoop.
Thomas Lincoln. For Abraham Lincoln's son, see Tad Lincoln. Thomas Lincoln (January 6, 1778 â January 17, 1851) was an American farmer, carpenter, and father of President Abraham Lincoln. Unlike some of his ancestors, Lincoln could not write, but he was a well-respected community and church member known for his honesty.
There is also a theory that Captain Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Lincoln's father, was married first to Mary Shipley. Lea and Hutchinson said in 1909 that Mary Shipley was from Lunenburg County, Virginia. She was believed to be the daughter of Robert and Sarah Shipley.
