Here's an interesting weave of history....
On April 10, 1692, Our great uncle, Captain Samuel Chapin (1659-1692), drowned at sea. He had a wife named Mary (Hobart) Chapin(1664-1743).

Mary Chapin was remarried in 1701 to a blacksmith named Mordecai Lincoln (1657-1727).

Mordecai and Mary are great grandparents of President Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865).

Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln(1843-1926), had a daughter "Mary "Mamie" Lincoln(1869-1938). She married Charles Bradford Isham(1853-1919), who is a great grandson of Deacon Samuel Chapin(1598-1675). Charles Isham also happens to be a 1st cousin of Captain Samuel Chapin.
