Christina (Tina) Carter emailed me wanting to know how she was connected to Abraham Lincoln. Tina is a granddaughter of Afton Swanson and Ruth Scholl. Ruth is the granddaughter of Joseph Scholl and Jennie Lee Berry.
The Lincoln connection comes from the Berry side of the family. Abraham Lincoln would have been a 2nd cousin twice removed of Jennie Lee (Berry) Scholl.
Abraham Lincoln would have been a 2nd cousin 6 times removed of Tina Carter.
Richard Berry II, Tina's 6th great grandfather, married a Rachel Shipley. One of Rachel's sisters married Dennis Hanks. They had a daughter, Nancy, who was the mother of Abraham Lincoln.
