Lincoln family tree

The Lincoln descended family comprises all the descendants of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. There are ten known descendants of Lincoln.

The family line is believed to have been extinct since its last undisputed descendant, Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, died on December 24, 1985 without any children. Robert's second wife had a son, named Timothy Lincoln Beckwith, and listed Robert as the father leading some to believe that Timothy is the great-great-grandson, and the only living descendant. Robert, however, denied paternity of the child, and a divorce court ruled that he was not the father. It is rumored that there may be additional living descendants, but scholars disagree as to the legitimacy of these claims. However, the Lincoln family does have surviving relatives who share common ancestors with the former president.
