Nancy Lincoln (née Hanks; February 5, 1784 – October 5, 1818) was the mother of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Her marriage to Thomas Lincoln also produced daughter Sarah and son Thomas Jr. In 1816, when Nancy and Thomas had been married for just over 10 years, the family moved from Kentucky to western Perry County, Indiana; when Spencer County was formed in 1818, the Lincoln homestead lay within its current boundaries.
