In October of 1818, when Abraham was 9, and Sarah was 11 years old, their mother Nancy, passed away from "milk sickness".

Their father, Thomas, remarried in December of 1819 to Sarah Bush Johnston, who was a widow, and had 3 of her own children. For the next several years, Abraham lived with his sister Sarah, his father Thomas, step mother Sarah, and his 2 step sisters, Elizabeth age 13 and Matilda age 10, and his step brother, John D age 9.

In 1826, Sarah married Aaron Grigsby. She unfortunately died, (her baby boy was stillborn) during labor, in January of 1828.

In 1830, the Lincolns sold their farm in Indiana, and moved to Macon County, Illinois. The following year, Abraham moved out on his own, to Coles County, Illinois.

This question brings up one of the controversies regarding Abraham Lincoln. The author will give you his opinion.

Nancy Hanks became pregnant prior to her marriage to Thomas Lincoln. Eight months after her marriage she gave birth to Nancy Sarah Lincoln. The baby girl was called Nancy. When Nancy was eleven her mother died. Two years later Thomas Lincoln remarried. His new wife was Sarah Bush Johnston. Sarah was an excellent caregiver and mother. The Lincoln children loved her very much. Nancy wanted people to call her by her middle name, Sarah. Nancy became Sarah from then on.

There is no way to prove that the child was called Nancy the first thirteen years of her life. This author will always call Abraham's sister--Sarah.
