Their first child, Robert Todd Lincoln, lived until the rip-old age of 82!

Their second child, Eddie Lincoln, died just before his 4th birthday, most likely of medullary thyroid cancer as part of the genetic cancer syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B.

William Wallace "Willie" Lincoln died when he was 11 of typhoid fever.

Thomas "Tad" Lincoln, died at the age of 18 of medullary thyroid cancer that had spread (metastasized) to his chest cavity, causing a malignant pleural effusion (i.e. the fluid in his chest). This hypothesis, which explains all of Tad's symptoms, derives from the conclusion that Tad and his father both had the genetic cancer syndrome called multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2B.
