On the topic of Lincoln again, why is it more hasn't been written about the  
genealogy of Lincoln and the apparent fact he was the illegitimate son of 
Nancy  Hanks and Abraham Enroe of Haywood County, NC?  It seems as though everyone 
 in that neck of the woods at the time knew that Enroe had impregnated Nancy  
Hanks, who lived with the family, and sent her off to Kentucky once the baby 
was  born to calm the ire of his wife.
 
Is this due to the fact illegitimate births have become so commonplace  
today, or is this more of the deification of Lincoln in spite of the facts of  his 
life?
