With the federally-mandated changeover to digital television broadcasting going into effect February 17, 2009, you may be wondering what is so special about a digital tuner. In order to receive television programming, you'll need to have one, so here's the scoop.
Thomas Lincoln. For Abraham Lincoln's son, see Tad Lincoln. Thomas Lincoln (January 6, 1778 â January 17, 1851) was an American farmer, carpenter, and father of President Abraham Lincoln. Unlike some of his ancestors, Lincoln could not write, but he was a well-respected community and church member known for his honesty.
But Mary and Abraham shared a love of politics and literature and seemed to deeply love each other. The couple married on November 4, 1842, and nine months later, their first son, Robert Todd Lincoln, was born. In 1846, the Lincolns welcomed their second son, Edward. Mary Todd Lincoln proved to be a staunch supporter of her husband's political career.
