         <p> "I was born Feb. 12. 1809 in then Hardin county Kentucky," wrote Lincoln in
            June 1860 for Thomas Hicks, "at a point within the now recently formed county of Larue,
            a mile, or a mile &amp; a half from where Hodgin'sville now is. My parents being
            dead and my own memory not serving, I know no means of identifying the precise locality.
            It was on Nolin Creek." [Thomas Lincoln possessed 348&#189; acres of land when
            Abraham was born. Abraham's birthplace is approximately three miles south of present day
            Hodgenville, on Nolin River.]<bibl default='NO'>
