Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln
Another footprint along the Lincoln Trail.
Sarah married Thomas Lincoln on Dec. 2, 1819, in Elizabethtown, thus uniting the Bush and Lincoln families.
We believe her love and good character favorably influenced young Abraham Lincoln who was destined to become sixteenth President of the United States.
