No it doesn't
Google "Was Abraham Lincoln Jewish?" You're going to find a few websites that will claim definitively that he was. Yet none of his biographers include that claim in any of their works. So if silence does not equal denial or affirmation then are you saying there is a chance that he was? Or does it mean that the biographers examined the 'evidence' and determined that it wasn't credible?
analogy fail.

Unaware of the Ward Lamon memo? Unaware of Taney's conversation with people that they recorded in the 1860's? How inept would you have us believe they are?

I saw the part where you speculated on what he was thinking. Where is that different from what you accused me of doing?
