Early life and education

Thomas Lincoln was born on April 4, 1853,^[1] the fourth son of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd. His three elder brothers were Robert (1843–1926), Edward (1846–1850), and William (1850–1862).

Named after his paternal grandfather Thomas Lincoln, he was soon nicknamed "Tad" by his father, for his small body and large head, and because as an infant he wiggled like a tadpole.^[2][3] Tad's first name has occasionally been erroneously recorded as Thaddeus.^[4]

Tad was born with a form of cleft lip and palate, which caused him speech problems throughout his life.

He had a lisp and delivered his words rapidly and unintelligibly.^[5] Often only those close to Lincoln
