There is a very strong tradition perpetuated by contemporaries of Nancy Hanks in Rutherford County, NC that she lived in the home of an Abrahm Enloe, was impregnated by Mr. Enroe, and sent off to Kentucky where she married Mr. Thomas Lincoln. The best work on this, chock full of affidavits from people with first hand knowledge of the facts, is James Coggins The Eugenics of President Abraham Lincoln. It also includes pictures of Wesley Enloe who was Lincoln's half brother, and who is the spitting impage of Lincoln. I have always found it odd that Nancy Hanks background has always remained such a mystery. It appears that this is with good reason.
