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.
Very little is known about Tommy Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's younger brother. Thomas Lincoln Jr. (Tommy) was named after his father and born while the Lincolns were living at the Knob Creek Farm in Hodgenville, Kentucky. The family lived there from 1811-1816, and many books list 1812 as the year of Tommy Lincoln's birth. Tommy lived only a short period.
