Tad Lincoln was born in Springfield, Illinois, on April 4, 1853. He was named Thomas Lincoln after his paternal grandfather, with no middle name or initial. It was Abraham Lincoln who gave him the nickname Taddie, because as a baby, the boy had a rather large head and that reminded Lincoln of a tadpole. When Taddie got older, Lincoln took to calling him Tad, but Mary Lincoln called him Taddie for his entire life.
Abraham had a strong relationship with a girl named Anne Rutledge when he was working as a young man in Salem. She died in 1835. In 1840 he married Mary Todd. Mary came from a wealthy slave holding family in Kentucky. Abraham Lincolns family grew and the couple eventually had four children. Robert Todd, the eldest child and the only one to survive childhood was born August 1, 1843. Edward Baker was born on March 10, 1846. Edward died in his infancy (1850) assumedly by Tuberculosis.
