Documents discovered at the National Archives in Washington show that former President Abraham Lincoln pardoned the great-great-grandfather of President Joe Biden, a Union Army civilian employee named Moses Robinette, The Washington Post reported Monday.
Joseph Robinette Biden's ancestral line has long been known and includes Moses Robinette among his paternal ancestors from western Maryland, but little has been chronicled about the man until his court-martial records were discovered.

Judge Advocate General Joesph Holt oversaw the military trial of the Lincoln Conspirators.
All I wanna know is WHERE!
“ his paternal ancestors from western Maryland”
Need to know who and where to avoid
If you search Robinette in Maryland you come up with a bunch of murders
Did he challenge him to a push up contest?
Or was it let’s go behind the barracks, jack!?
According to the article he was attacked by a much larger man, a teamster, in a bar. He defended himself with a penknife.
That IS a pity.
Hindsight’s always 20-20.
