When did Abraham Lincoln get hemophilia?
It is actually not possible to 'get' hemophilia. Hemophilia is passed on from the mother (the carrier) to the son, not the daughter as it is rare for a girl. A boy has two chromosomes, an X and a Y, and girl has two X's. Hemophilia is inherited through the X chromosome, so a girl can carry hemophilia, but unless she inherits hemophilia on both of her chromosomes, she can't have the disease. REGARDING YOUR QUESTION, It is actually not confirmed whether Lincoln had hemophilia, people suspected some sort of genetic disorder, there were two suspected and hemophilia was one. People didn't know very much of the disease when Abraham was president. In fact is wasn't a named disease until 1828, and then hemophiliacs often didn't live pass the age of thirteen. With not much doctors could do to stop bleeding, and considering the age of Abraham its unlikely he had hemophilia.
