Maybe 299 is all the relatives the U of Mn could locate, or all that were willing to participate in the study.
Did they contact you, Lurking in Kansas?

I was confused by the article's being displayed on a Yahoo page.

Interestingly, if you click on the story, Live Science has a link to it's "Top 10 Ailing Presidents." Not surprisingly, Ronald Reagan is #1, because "some historians have speculated that he suffered dementia" in the second half of his second term. This "speculation" is more damning than the verifiable fact that Woodrow Wilson was totally incapacitated by a stroke for most of his second term, or that FDR was a cripple who died in office. Or that JFK was addicted to painkillers and amphetamines.

Sounds like they're not as straightforward a source as your earlier post suggested!

Did they contact you...LOL, no, I am not a decedent, we share an common ancestor. Something like, his grandfather is also my 7th great-grandfather.
To: Lurking in Kansas
we share an common ancestorFrom the information provided in the posts above, that's true of anyone currently living who is related to President Lincoln ... and none are his "descendants" in the strict sense.

Having to face what Lincoln did whose nerves would not have been shattered?

In fairness, they ususally stick to impeccible sources when they are actually reporting news, as opposed to putting together top-10 lists.

Apart from the fact that he had the most difficult presidency by far, his wife was also a schizophrenic.

That's something, anyway. The site at "Journal of Cell Biology" said there would be new material up today. If I don't forget about it, maybe I'll go read the article and see whom they used for test subjects.

Not surprisingly, Ronald Reagan is #1, because "some historians have speculated that he suffered dementia" in the second half of his second term. "Historians" who speculate thus should explain why we were better governed in Reagan's last two years in office than we were by Jimmy Carter on his best day. Such "historians" should give up on trying to kick Reagan. They just don't have the stature - their kicks don't even clear the soles of his shoe to reach high enough to mar the shine of his shoes.

And a shopaholic. His young son, Tad, also died when he was President.
