      I think he's a Hemmings Descendant because of his last name Coles. Sally Hemmings's daughter Harriet (with Jefferson) passed into white society. Her husband's indentity is unknown, but in one theory her husband was a man with the last name Coles.

    Someone should do a story about Lincoln descendants. Officially there are none left. Lincoln had three great children though his son Robert. Two of them never had kids. However one of them we aren't sure. There is a chance he fathered a child in the 1968 ( Timothy Lincoln Beckwith) but it's never been proven. The Lincoln Estate offered him money when he turned 18 to give up any possible claims which he did. Still the fact that this remains unknown today is crazy to me.

    • @natelazaro3253
      @natelazaro3253 2 роки тому

      Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith had a vasectomy years before Timothy was born. Timothy is almost certainly not a Lincoln Descendants.

    • @doody244
      @doody244 2 роки тому

      Do you know how easy it was to bribe a doctor back then? Fred Trump did it so little Donny wouldn’t be sent into combat. Even if Beckwith had the procedure 1-2 out of 1000 can fail. I imagine the number was even higher decades ago. I’m not say Timothy is definitely a descendant but there is a chance. So why don’t put it to rest and do the 🧬 test.
