Question:

Who are the parents and great-grandparents of President Abraham Lincoln?

Lincoln born and raised in Illinois State. I want to know his
connections/lineage, to the Folsom Family's of America.
Lincoln's grandmother's last name is Folsom. The Folsom
Family of 3 brothers, White men, married ALL the daughters
of the Mississippi Choctaw Indians 2 Chief's, and were
forced to Oklahoma Lands, by 1840's. They are Connected
to the Whitehouse 1750's, to present.
Choctaw Nation/Oklahoma, is ALL KIN TO PRESIDENT
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, through the Folsom Family White
Men...back to England, 1500's / American1638. In England
near Foulsham...their Folsom Ancestory Area.
The Reunion Held in LeQuire, Okla. annually, is connected
to President Abraham Lincoln's Heritage, and through the
Relatives of the Founding Father's of America, and to
Dolley Payne/Paine-Todd-Madison, who spent over 70
Years, being connected to the "Founding Fathers", and
in/around the Whitehouse.
Founding Fathers & Dolley "tunneled" Slaves, so they did
come West, to have Freedom!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Sounds like the Folsoms take a lot of pride in their heritage, which is good. Unfortunately, something we see all the time in genealogy is statements made without any evidence at all to back it up. Needless to say, that makes it all the harder down the line, for new researchers to know what is reliable and what is not.
Presidential lineages are plastered all over the net (with documentation). There MAY be some distant connection to the Lincoln ancestry... that does not necessarily translate into him being a Folsom descendent through his grandmother.
