The Lincoln Kinsman was a monthly publication about Abraham Lincoln and the Lincoln genealogy. Fifty-four issues were published in total. Louis Austin Warren (1885-1983) was a minister who spent his lifetime researching and writing about Abraham Lincoln and his family and was Director of the Lincoln National Life Foundation. Excerpt from Page 1: "Four Virginia families, the Shipleys, Boones, Winters, and Herrings, have attempted to gather information which would allow them to identify the paternal grandmother of Abraham Lincoln with their kinsmen. However, the folk-lore and tradition which would make Bathsheba Herring the wife of Grandfather Lincoln seems to have been accepted generally in recent years." There is in-depth discussion of the Herring family. In the back are genealogical lists of the Herring family from the first through third generations, the Harrison family for the first two generations, and the fifth and sixth generations of the Lincoln family..
