LINCOLN FAMILY
FACTS REVEALED
. * «V*
Found in Records of Berks
. County, Pennsylvania.
■ 1 " "T" •
Springfield, 111. —-The Lincoln tra
dition of Berks county, Pennsylvania,
reviewed by the recent death of Rob
ert Todd Lincoln, the -fimancipator’s
last surviving child, has caused re
newed historical researches .into the
ebunty records of early days.
Ancestors of Robert Todd Lincoln,
it was found, played a leading part in
the historical and political affairs of
the county during the latter part of
the Eighteenth century, one of them
serving, in the stat<E» legislature a few
years after the Revolutionary war.
The first Lincolns came into Ches
ter county from New Jersey about
1720. These early arrivals were Mor
decai and his brother Abraham.
Mordecai’s family comprised four
children, Mordecai, Thomas, “Virginia
John” and Abraham, born after his
father's death. . “Virginia John” was
the great-great-grandfather of Rob
ert Todd Lincoln.
After the death of Mordecai the
four sons moved to Berks county and
the county records still show the ex
-1 ‘ent of the influence which the fam
ily exerted in the affairs of the coun
ty. Mordecai and his wife, Mary,
were owners of property in Reading,
and Thomas was elected county sher- ,
- !T in 1735.
The younger Abraham, however,
i was the politician of tlie time. From
| 1772 to 1779 he served as county eom
: missioncr. Later lie was elected to
thp state assembly and lie represent
ed the county during 1782, 1783, 1784
and 17 So.
At the close of the Revolutionary
war lie was chosen to make an ad
dress to General Washington on a
visit to Philadelphia. On the original
draft of the Pennsylvania constitu
tion of 1790 his signature is found ns
a member of the constitutional con
vention from Berks county.
Between the years of 17G5 and 1708
“Virginia John,” fired by the exploits
of Daniel Boone, son of a neighboring
farmer, left the county and moved to
Virginia. Some years later Abraham,
a son, the great-grandfather of Rob
ert, left Virginia for Larue county,
Kentucky.
In the meantime a romance had
grown up between Abraham and Anna
Boone, cousin of Daniel Boone. Their
wedd'ng met with rebuke in the little
Quaker settlement, ami it was not
until she acknowledged her error pub
licly that the disgrace of her mar
riage “out of meeting” was forgiven.

customer and he was told four years j
ago to call at the county clerk’s office

i GERMANY WOULD BUY
MALMEDY AND EUPEN
Dicker* With Belgium for
Return of Canton*.
Washington. Belgium considers
selling to Germany, according to cable
reports, the two border cantons of
Maliued.v and Eupen. '•?
“If cabled facts in the transaction
are correct, this deal in’ International
real estate equals any flights of fancy
prices in America,” says a bulletin of
the National Geographic soeiety from
its headquarters iy Washington.
“Belgium has been the owner of
Eupen and Melmedy for six years.
They are both hill towns. The first
lias 14,(X)6, and the second 4,000 in
habitants, and the whole 382 square
j miles of territory contains not more
than GO,OOO people. The wooded
i countryside -offers no such rich agri
-1 cultural perspective as tjie fertile Bel
-1 gian plain farther west. The hills
contain no minerals of importance. Yet
I the tentative price is reported to he
j 1,000,000,000 gold marks. At current
rates of exchange this is equal to ap
proximately $40,000,000, which is a
six-year profit any American realtor
•can appreciate.
Two Towns Near Liege,
i “No one of the present generation
can" forget Liege, so it is easy to lo
| cate Eupen and Malmedy by fixing the
, former 23 miles east, and the fatter
25 miles southeast, of that martyred
Belgian town. Eupen can almost claim
to be suburb of Aix-la-Cliapelle, or
Aachen, as the Germans call it. From
Eupen the Germans stepped across
the border on August 5, 1914. Mal
medy is farther south along the Ger
man-Belgium frontier,. which is only
40 miles long. Directly across the line
from Malmedy is Spa. Not a spa, but
The Spa, whose health springs at
tracted crowned beads of Europe dur
ing the first part of the Nineteenth
century.
“At Versailles, in 1918, Belgium
wanted 14 cantons in the so-called
Eifel district of Germany e joining
the Belgian border. She claii . d them
as lost Walloon territory taken by
Prussia by the treaty of 'Vienna, in
1815. Belgium is half Wall n and
half Flemish. The Walloon half is the
forested uplands nearest France. Wal
loon speech resembles French and the
religion is Catholic. Flemings, on the
other hand, live In the fertile plain,
are Protestants, and speak a Dutch
language. At one time, Walloon fam
ilies may have outnumbered till others
in ‘beyond the border' cantons, but
the Germans changed that. Indeed,
Eupen, a wool weaving center, is said
to he German now but Melmedy. Iso-
| lated in the hills, is still Walloon.
Five Hundred People Without a
, Country.
“Neighbor to Malmedy and Eupen
, Is Moresnet, which is a freak of bor
der barter. In neutral Moresnet live
300 men, wopien and children without
a country.
“The town sits over a zinc mine
! which Ims been worked for hundreds
of years. When it came to laying a
border line neither Belgium nor Ger
many would consent to the other own
ing Moresnet and its mine. They com
promised to create neutral Moresnet.
It is not a state, yet it belongs to no
one. - Moresnet is measured in acres
instead of square miles, 1,400 acres,
according to one authority, and 800
acres according to another. One year
it lias a Qerman burgomaster, the next
a Belgian burgomaster. Customs reve
nue is collected by German agents and
divided between the two countries.
“Moresnet came near to being over
crowded shortly before the World war
| because its inhabitants, being citizens
| of no country, did not have to serve
in the army. Belgians and Germans
wishing to escape military service
flocked to Moresnet until the two god
parent countries put a stop to that. A
glimpse into Moresnet’s economic life
! is afforded by its taxation policy.
Funds to run this village without a
country are obtained through subsidy
from the mining company and a li
cense on draught dogs!”
