Oh dear. Abraham Lincoln didn't have four fathers, he had fore-fathers, just as you do. Fore-fathers means those who came before, grandfathers, great grandfathers, great great grandfathers, etc.
Have you read the Gettysburg Address? It isn't long and it isn't difficult, but it is important.

the gettysburg address was Abraham Lincoln addressing the nation after the Battle of Gettysburg during the civil war. It is one of the most quoted and famous speeches in the history of the USA
Being the most quoted ... it is also very misquoted like you just did! :-p .. its not four fathers, its "forefathers" ... meaning your ancestors and he was referring to more in particular the people who founded America like George Washington,Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson etc.
