Compton 109531-- Notes for MARY BOWNE:
Capt William Bowne, the nabob of the English settlement on Long Island had among other daughters, Mary and Sara.
Sara married Richard Salter, moved to Monmouth Co NJ and had these children:
Thomas, John, Hannah, Richard Jr., William , Ebenezer, James, Deborah, and Oliver.
- Hannah Salter married Mordecai Lincoln who was born Apr 24 1686 at Hingham, MA and came to NJ with his brother Abraham by 1708.
Mordecai was the son of Mordecai Sr and the grandson of Samuel Lincoln, the emigrant from England, who came to Hingham by 1637.
Samuel married Martha. Mordecai and Hanna Saltar Lincoln's oldest son was John, born May 3 1711 and moved with his parents and other children to Chester Co PA by 1725. This John Lincoln, in 1748, sold land to Middlesex Co NJ which had been willed him by his father on Cranberry Creek, 300 acres to William Dye for 200 pounds . At that date, John resided in Lancaster Co PA.
This John was the great grand father of the president Abraham Lincoln.
Whom John married is unknown but in some way was related to Daniel Boone.
John's third son, Abraham, was the grandfather to President Lincoln.
In 1767 or '68, John moved to the Shenandoah Valley in VA. His son Abraham accompanied him to VA where he purchased land in 1773 and sold it in 1780, when incited by narratives of his kinsman Daniel Boone, whom he followed to the wilds of KY by or before 1784, and
was shot and killed by Indians in 1784.
Abraham's son, Thomas, born Jan 20 1780, was the father of President Lincoln.
In 1860 President Lincoln made this statement: " I was born February 12 1809, Harden Co KY. My parents were both born in VA of undistinguished families, possibly of the second generation. I should say, my mother, who died when I was ten years old, was a Hanks, some of whom now reside in Adams Co IL. My paternal grandfather, Abraham Lincoln, came from Rockingham Co VA to KY about 1781-2 where a year or so later he was killed by Indians, not in battle but by stealth when he was laboring to open a farm in the forest.
His ancestors came from PA.
My father, at the death of his father, was six years of age and grew up literally without education. My father removed to Spencer Co IN in my eighth year and there reached our new home when the state came into the Union. It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There were schools but no qualifications of teachers beyond 'readin', writen' and 'cipherin' to the 'Rule of Three'. If a straggler, supposed to know and understand Latin, happened to sojourn in the neighborhood, he was looked upon as a wizard. There was nothing to excite ambition for education. Of course, when I grew up I did not know much. At 21, I came to Macon Co IL, then to New Salem, where I remained a year or so as clerk in a store . An effort has been made to identify my family with the Lincoln family of New England, ended in nothing more definite than a similarity of Christain names in both families, such as Enoch, Levi, Mordecai, Solomon, Abraham, and so on."
At Clarksburg, Monmouth Co NJ, was found some years ago a small, weather beaten tombstone, a marker of Mordecai and Hanna Salter Lincoln's daughter Bebora, died age three and 4 months. It is near the town where Mordecai and Hanna Lincoln had lived before 1711. The grave received official recognition. On a simple granite column in Nancy Hanks Park, Lincoln City IN, is written: "Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of Abraham Lincoln, died October 5 1818, age 35."

I saw your post on Rootsweb about John Compton who married Rebecca Tunnison. Do you know anything about John and Rebecca? Where they live, any children, when he died?
I inherited some genealogical material which claims this John as our ancestor, but cites no supporting evidence.
The John Compton who was my 3G Grandfather, spent most of his life in Southwestern Virginia, now Tazewell or Bland County, having shown up on land and court records there in about 1780 and continuing until his death in about 1807. He may have lived in Maryland and/or Northern Virginia before migrating down the Shenandoah Valley to Virginia.
John and "Rebekah's" children were:
- John, Jr.,
- Samuel,
- Elizabeth,
- Ebenezer,
- Cornelius, and
- Richard.
Also, he may have been married twice.
Any information will be appreciated.
