On the Short forum I have posted a will wherein is named a child, Sarah, married surname Bennett. Her father is Joshua Short. Some researchers say he was born in KY. The will, original, is written entirely in the hand of Abraham Lincoln who was a friend of this Joshua Short. If you want to view it, got to the Short forum and see the item entitled "Joshua and Parthena Short 1836 IL". Parthena is probably not the mother of his children as he authorizes his estate to pay her expenses to return to her own family, and she owns her own property.
