Phillip Hartwell Smith married Mary Eleanor Connor in 1859. Their
descendents are related to Abraham Lincoln as half cousins as follows:
Mary Eleanor Connor (Ancestors)
Jesse D. Connor x Ellender Lincoln
Hananiah Lincoln x Sarah Jane Jeffries
Thomas Lincoln x Elizabeth Davis
Mordecai Lincoln (b.1686) x Mary Robeson
Mary Robeson was Mordecai Lincoln’s second or third wife (married July,
1729). His first or second wife was Hannah Salter (married 9-9-1714). There
is some argument that Mordecai may have married before Hannah Salter.
Mordecai Lincoln (b. 1686) x Hannah Salter (Descendants)
John Lincoln x Rebecca Flowers
Abraham Lincoln (b.1739) x Bathsheba Herring
Thomas Lincoln x Nancy Hanks
Abraham Lincoln (b. 1809)-the President
Mordecai (1686) was Abe’s greatgreatgrandfather, and he was Mary Eleanor
Connor’s greatgreatgrandfather. Hope this helps………………Jim

“In an old family Bible that I uncovered in Indianapolis it states that Mary Connor Smith was a second cousin to Abraham Lincoln and was quite intimate with him and canvassed with him on the election trail.”
