I thought there was also speculation Lincoln may have suffered from acromegaly (don't know if I spelled that right), a genetic disorder of some type characterized by tallness and large hands, feet and jaws.

You spelled it right. Andre the Giant had that. Its symptoms seem a bit different from Lincoln's physical appearance. A protuding brow, lower jaw and nose characterize it, and Lincoln's facial structure isn't quite that.
