Are any of Abraham Lincoln's descendants alive?

Question

I just wondered if he had any great great grand children that were still around. Same goes for other presidents, if you have the information. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Robert Lincoln was the only one of Abraham Lincoln's children To have children. Robert's daughter Jesse Lincoln (married Warren Beckwith) had a Son Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith. He was the last descendant of Abraham Lincoln, He died, childless, in 1985.


Here is the complete Lincoln lineage:

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) had four children
Robert (1843-1926); Edward (1846-1850); William (1850-1862); and Thomas (1853-1871)

Robert Lincoln was the only one of Abrahham Lincoln's children to have children. Roberts children were:
Mary (1869-1938), Abraham II (1873-1890); and Jesse (1875-1948)

Mary Lincoln (married Charles Isham) and Jesse Lincoln (first marriage to Warren Beckwith) were Robert Lincoln's children who had children.

Mary Lincoln Isham had a son Abraham Isham (1892 - 1971) he died childless.

Jesse Lincoln Beckwith's children were:
Mary (1898-1975), died unmarried and childless;
Robert (1904-1985), died childless.

Thus there are no living descendants of Abraham Lincoln.

Answer 2

I remember that last descendent of his. He was a really moody guy who used to do the "What's my line?" and "To Tell the Truth" circuit. He died over 20 years ago. Most of Lincoln's sons had no kids. The one who did only had a few. The last living descendent came from Lincoln's granddaughter.
