description: "Thomas Lincoln Sr. was an American farmer and carpenter. His son Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. Unlike some of his ancestors, Thomas could not write. He struggled to make a successful living for his family and faced difficult challenges in Kentucky real estate boundary and title disputes, the early death of his first wife, and the integration of his second wife's family into his own family, before making his final home in Illinois."
