(IV) Mordecai (3), son of Mordecai (2) Lincoln, of Exeter, first appears on the tax lists of Berks county in 1754 as "single." March, 1773, conveyances show he had a wife Mary. The Lincolns were prominent in Berks county. Thomas, brother of Mordecai (3), was sheriff of the county, and all owned land. Mordecai was a merchant in Berks county and a man of means. In 1791 he visited his son Benjamin, who prior to 1791 had gone to Fayette county, Pennsylvania. He liked the country so well that on June 29, 1791, he purchased of Isaac Pearce the tract of land called "Discord," containing three hundred and twenty acres. He finally settled in the county himself, and continued his residence until his death in 1812. He had four children: Benjamin, a farmer of Dauphin, Fayette and Greene counties, Pennsylvania; John, went to Virginia; Ann, went to Virginia with John Lincoln; Sarah, of further mention.
