All HeThoutht Worth While to Sy. I was born February li, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virgin ia, of undistinguished families- second families, perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in mv tenth year, wasof a family of the name of Hanks, some of whom now reside in Adams and others in Macon County, Illinois, My paternal grandfather, Abraham Xincoln, emigrated from. Rocking ham County, Virginia, to Kentuc ky about 1781 or 1782, where, a year or two later, he was killed by the Indians, not in battle, but by stealth, when he was laboring to open a farm in the forest. His ancestors who were Quakers, went to Virginia from Berks County. Pennsylvania fy them with the New Knuland family of the same name ended in i nothing more definite than a simi- larit.v of Christian names in Kith i families, -such as Enoclv, Ijevi, Mordecai, Solomon, Abraham and j the like. ; My father at the death of his father, was but six years of age, and he grew up literally without education. He removed from Kentucky to what is now Spencer County, Indiana, in my eighth year. We reached our new home about the time the .tate came into the Union. It was a wild with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up. There werr some schools so called, but no qualifica tions was ever required of a teach er bevond kreadin writin' audi. cipherin' ' to the rule of three. Ifi a straggler supposed to understand Latin happened to sojourn id the neinhborlkood bo was looked Qpoa as a wizard. There was absolutely nothing to excite ambition for edn cation. Of course, when I catw of age I did not know much, j Still, somehow, I could read, write and cipher to the rule of threo but that was all. I have nt Kn to school since. The little advance I 1 . 1 1 now have upon this store ot edu cation I have picked up from time to time under the pressure f ne cessity. I was raised to farm work, which I continued until I was twenty-two. At twent.vone I came to IMinois Macon County. Then I got to New Salem, at tht time in Sangamon, now in Menard County, where I remained a yenr as a sort of clerk in a store. Then came the Black Hawk war, nn 1 I was elected a captain of volunteers, a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had si no. I went through the campaign, was elated, ran for the legislature the same year (1832), and was latn the only time I ever have leon beiHen by the people. The next and three succeeding biennial elec tions I was elected to the legisla ture.
