General Notes: Husband - Mordecai Lincoln
He was an iron-worker who came into Pennsylvania from Monmouth County, New Jersey, in 1720 and first settled in Chester County and for a number of years was associated with Samuel Nutt and William Branson in the manufacture of iron on French Creek. In 1730 he purchased 1,000 acres of land in an area of what is now Berks County\emdash but then Lancaster\emdash and soon thereafter began to erect his home. It is claimed that the first building was but 16 by 30½ feet in dimensions and that a larger building was later added to it. Here were reared his five children already born to him from a first wife and here three more children were born of his second wife.
There is every reason to believe that he at once stepped into a good position in the country to which he had come. He was a justice of the peace, an inspector of highways. He was on an ascending scale socially and financially, when, at the age of 49 years, he died, and his property descended to his widow and children.
He settled first in Monmouth County, New Jersey, where he married. He next appears in 1720 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, at Exeter. He then became a large land owner and interested in iron works.
His will, made February 22, 1735, mentions three sons, Mordecai, John and Thomas, also provides for a possible posthumous child who at birth was named Abraham.
He was the paternal ancestor of Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States.
