Yes. He started growing his beard sometime in fall of 1860 and was fully bearded when he first took office in March of 1861. He was prompted to grow a beard by a letter he got from a little girl. ( see the related link.)

When did Uncle Sam get his beard?

uncle sam got his beard when john Quincy Adams was president The above answer is not factual!! The U.S. icon 'Uncle Sam' was based on Samuel Wilson who worked during the War of 1812 as a Meat Inspector. The U.S. President at the time was James Madison. The beard came later in about 1830 when cartoonist Thomas Nast and John Tenniel added the goatee. Andrew Jackson was U.S. President at that time. My guess is the goatee was probably added as a tribute to Abraham Lincoln, but there is no references to support that theory.
