Abraham and Sarah are presumed to be here in her family plot near the Hat Creek Church. According to research I have that was conducted by Adin Baber, Abraham Hanks is the grandfather of Abraham Lincoln. Another descendent has research stating otherwise.
From B. Wade: "Your ancestor is Luke Hanks , son of William Hanks 1655-1704 and Sarah Woodbridge 1653-1708. through their son Luke Hanks 1681-1757 and wife Elizabeth Glascock 1692 . This family is very hard to research and your friend made mistakes . Luke Sr. had Luke Jr. and Luke Jr. had Luke 3r. Luke St. had a Abraham and LukeJr.. Had a Abraham, and their is a mix up of the Luke's and Abraham's. I am trying to get them with the correct parent's. Lucey was never married to Abraham and now you have Fielding in the wrong family, he needs to be removed."

If her documents are correct, Abraham is connected by blood to Nancy Hanks, but is not her ancestor. The son of Abraham and Sarah, Fielding Hanks is buried in the Old Campton Burying Ground in Campton, Kentucky, and he is my g-g-g-g-great-grandfather.
Children in order according to Adin Baber: Abraham Jr., born c. 1770; Luke, born 1771, William, born c. 1772; Fielding, born 1783; Nancy, born 1784; John, born 1786; Sarah, born 1788; Mary "Polly", born c. 1790/92.
