"Charles Friend wrote this letter to William Herndon on July31, 1889.

• I heard the question put to Old Abe Enlows by my brother in law, Mr. A. H. Redman, with another gentleman present, Dr. W. H . Holt. Redman asked if it was true, that he is the father of Abe Lincoln. He remarked that it was an honor to be proud to even be thought of as a father of a President. But, I said, he was only 15 years old when Abe was born. Then said Redman, you could not have been, being you were only 14 when he was begotten. Now, said Abe Enlow, to set the story straight, I will say I never put my hands on her, and further, I believe he is the son of Thomas Lincoln. I think this all grew out of his name being the same as mine, but I can account for the name. His grandfather was Abraham Lincoln, was killed by the Indians on the Salt River, not far from where we now stand.

Abraham Enloe, himself, stated this isn't correct." -- Vicky Paulson

This refutes the persistent stories that Abraham Enloe may have been the biological father of President Abraham Lincoln.

These short articles (Genealogy Today) and the full paper here are examples of the extent to which arguments for this incorrect theory exist.
