Conflicts and open questions

  • Question question:paul-fleenor:parentage (open)

    Which original record images can independently confirm the newly indexed Fleenor-to-Hanks chain? Authenticated indexes now name Otis Fleenor and Anna Smith as Paul Theodore Fleenor's parents, Dollie Despain and John Henderson Smith as Anna's parents, Martha Beans and Milton Despain as Dollie's parents, and Mahala Hall and William Beams as Martha's parents. Wilson/Davis and Genetic Lincoln research continue the line through Nancy Hanks Hall to Joseph Hanks and Ann Lee. The old Nancy Hanks DeSpain → Dollie route is superseded, not part of this path.

    Next: Open and archive the underlying Iowa record images for the four FamilySearch indexes, identify the exact 1850 Beams household schedule, and seek probate, Bible, or civil evidence naming Mahala as Nancy Hanks Hall's daughter. Until those checks are complete, publish the resulting relationship to Abraham Lincoln as likely second cousins six times removed and strongly supported research—not a fully confirmed pedigree.
