Errors in president Lincoln’s lineage concerning lucy Hanks
Because Nancy Hanks is read only you can make changes. But that did stop people from using her.
Lucy Hanks LZF3-B2D the correct person grandmother of President Lincoln has duplications.
Lucy Hanks {GQXX-NQC } also Lucy Sparrow {9918-P2M} which is Lucy Hanks married name and Lucy Shipley {L1WM-TZJ}. Lucy Shipley was a theory for years but was refuted in 2015 DnA study.

Abraham Lincoln is a monumental figure in our nation’s history, yet his mother’s maternal ancestry has been debated for over a hundred years. Most historians agree that Nancy Hanks was the illegitimate daughter of Lucy Hanks who had a second illegitimate daughter, Sarah “Sally” Hanks, before marrying Henry Sparrow and giving birth to eight more children. So the question then becomes, “Who were the parents of Lucy Hanks (Sparrow)?”
While most have believed Lucy Hanks (Sparrow) was the daughter of Joseph Hanks and Ann “Nancy” Lee of Richmond Co., VA and Nelson Co., KY, others have claimed Lucy Hanks (Sparrow) was born Lucy Shipley who prior to her marriage to Henry Sparrow had been married to a James Hanks, a supposed son of Joseph and Ann Lee Hanks, making her their daughter-in-law instead of daughter. They have further claimed that she was one of five Shipley sisters, two of whom were Naomi Shipley (Mitchell) and Rachel Shipley (Berry). This study addresses this long standing controversy and seeks to provide an authoritative reference sample of Abraham Lincoln’s mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).
Nancy Hanks Lincoln has no living descendants so mtDNA samples were obtained from matrilineal descendants of two known daughters of Joseph Hanks and Ann “Nancy” Lee (Nancy Hanks Hall and Mary Hanks Friend), matrilineal descendants of two daughters of Sarah “Sally” Hanks (Sophia Hanks Lynch Legrand and Margaret Hanks Legrand), and matrilineal descendants of two daughters of Lucy Hanks from her marriage to Henry Sparrow (Margaret Sparrow Ingram and Lucinda Sparrow Richardson). This group shall be identified as Group-A. Full mitochondrial sequencing reveal Group-A belongs to a rare haplogroup X1c. In addition to the mutations used to define haplogroup X1c, they share a core set of {three} more specific mutations. These results indicate Group-A participants descend from the same maternal line. The rarity of the X1c haplogroup makes these matching samples more definitive.
MtDNA samples were also collected from matrilineal descendants of two Shipley sisters – Naomi Shipley who married Robert Mitchell and Rachel Shipley who married Richard Berry, Sr. This group shall be identified as Group-B. Matching HVR1 and HVR2 results for these two samples are Haplogroup H, indicating Group-B descendants do not descend from the same maternal line as Group-A.
In summary, these results can be used with confidence as a reference for DNA testing of Abraham Lincoln artifacts and for distinguishing between the two accounts of the parentage of Nancy Hanks. By including participants from multiple lines of descent from Ann Lee Hanks, the results conclude that Lucy Hanks Sparrow was not a sister of Rachel Shipley and Naomi Shipley and the results provide evidence supporting the conclusion that Lucy Hanks was a daughter of Ann Lee Hanks. All matrilineal lineages were researched by the study authors.

may be somebody from “IT” could fix these errors. The above is the first set of errors.
