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.
David Herbert Donald stated in his book, Lincoln that In all his published writings, and indeed, even in reports of hundreds of stories and conversations, he had not one favorable word to say about his father. Abraham, did, however, name his fourth son Thomas, the choice of which, Donald said, suggested that Abraham Lincoln's memories of his father were not all unpleasant â and perhaps hinted at guilt for not having attended his funeral.
