Genetic Lincoln research PDF, “Lucy Hanks (Henry Sparrow), daughter of Joseph and Ann Lee Hanks” (December 2019)

Open questions touching these claims

• 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 The old Nancy Hanks DeSpain → Dollie route is superseded, not part of this path.

  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.

• Which source states the birth and death years of Joseph Hanks, Ann Lee, William Hanks and Lucy Hanks? The T-RES-005 review found the only cited sources contradicting three recorded values and silent on three more: William's 1756 and 1834 (the research paper says born about 1765 and died after 1850), Ann Lee's 1784 (the widow Anne Hanks assigns land in January 1794), and Lucy's 1830 death (the research PDF says she died between 1830 and 1840); no source opened gives a birth year for Joseph or Ann Lee, so those years are no longer recorded, and Lucy's 1762 is hedged in its only source.

  For William, the Nelson County, Kentucky tax lists of 1787–1793 and the 1850 federal census of Macon County, Illinois, which the research paper cites but does not reproduce. For Ann Lee, the Nelson County deed of January 1794 signed by the widow Anne Hanks, and Joseph Hanks's probate file (will of 8 January 1793, executor's bond of 14 May 1793). For Lucy, the 1830 and 1840 federal censuses of Mercer and Adair counties, Kentucky, and the 1790 Mercer County marriage bond. Record a birth year for Joseph or Ann Lee only when a record or an institutional transcription states one; until then none of the withdrawn values may appear in the narrative in any form, with or without "about".
