ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S autobiography, consist- Lincoln Forbears Not Men of Mean Stock ,,4 His Ancestor a Member of Jefferson's Cabinet. LINCOLN camo of no mean stock, according to Dr. Louis A. Warren, of Fort Wayne, Ind., director of the Lincoln Historical Research foundation and editor of Lincoln Lore. The Civil war President's family belonged to the ante-bellusouthern aristocracy of Kentucky, and one of his ancestors was a cabinet officer In a Democratic administration, Doctor Warren's research has revealed. In refuting the popular misconception that Lincoln rose from poverty and was of an humble origin, Doctor Warren declared that K his revelations were a shock to cherished Ideas of the emancipator, they had the sound backing of documentary evidence. "President Lincoln was of the seventh generation of his family In America, and his line has been traced back through four generations in Samuel Lincoln, Illngham, England. who came to America in 1G37 and founded the town of Ilingham, Mass , was the founder of the American line. "When Lincoln visited Worcester, Mass., In 1848, and was entertained by Levi Lincoln, he was the guest of one of his own family, although neither he nor his host knew of th connection. The President died withs out knowing of the link with the who had a prominent part in molding the history of New England. A recent document lists more than 1 ,000 of them. Levi, Sr., who was once governor of the Bay state, was secretary of state under Thomas Jefferson." Doctor Warren traced the migration of the Llncolns from Massachusetts, through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia. Kentucky, across the Ohio river Into Indiana and thence to III! nois. "Lincoln's grandfather, once holder of 5,000 acres of land in Kentucky, was massacred by the Indians in one of the treat tragedies of the famllv Following his death, when Lincoln's ratner, Thomas, was ten years old, the widow was defrauded out of Dractlcal ly all of the land, which may explain the beginnings of the humble origin ineory."

He prevailed upon Lincoln to write the autobioeranhy in 1839 when it became apparent that the great emancipator would become a Presi dential candidate.
