Presented in a carved wood frame. signed and titled on verso "Elda Craumer ", "Lincoln Ancestral Home" Canvas size: 26"H x 30"W Frame; 32"H x 36"W x 1.75"D Title and artist's name written on verso ("Lincoln Ancestral Home by Elda Craumer") Elda Craumer (American, 1885-1964) was an artist from Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Memberships: Allentown Art Group Lehigh Art Alliance Kline-Baum Art School Exhibited: 1938, Civic Club, Philadelphia, PA 1939, Reading Public Museum and Art Gallery, Reading, PA 1941, Fellowship of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts 1941, Lehigh University Art Gallery 1961, Woman’s Club Division of Art (solo show), St. Cloud, FL The Mordecai Lincoln House. Built in 1733 in Reading, PA. It was the home of President Lincoln's great-great-grandfather. President Lincoln had only a vague knowledge of his Pennsylvania ancestors, believing that they were Quakers from Berks County. The first Mordecai Lincoln lived in Scituate, Massachusetts. Two of his sons, Abraham and Mordecai Jr., the president's great-great-grandfather, first moved to New Jersey before 1714 and then to Pennsylvania in 1720. Mordecai Jr. settled near the present day Coventryville, Chester County and became a partner in the Coventry Forge with Samuel Nutt Sr. and William Bransom, then selling that interest for five hundred pounds in 1726. He moved to Amity Township, Philadelphia County (now Exeter Township, Berks County) sometime after 1727. In 1729 Mordecai Jr. leased a thousand-acre farm and married his second wife, Mary Robeson. He later bought the farm and built his house on it about 1733. The house was enlarged about 1760 and a separate summer kitchen was built in the early nineteenth century. The Mordecai Lincoln House is four miles south of the Daniel Boone Homestead, birthplace of Daniel Boone and the two families clearly were acquainted. Mordecai Lincoln Jr. served as a justice of the peace, road inspector, and militia captain or commissioner for defense against the Indians. He died in 1736, shortly before the birth of a son, also named Abraham. This Abraham married the first cousin of Daniel Boone, Anne Boone, who was a Quaker but who was censured by the Exeter Friends Meeting for marrying a non-Quaker. This fact indicates that the Lincolns were not Quakers, even though Mordecai Jr. is believed to be buried in the Exeter Friends Burial Ground. In his will, Mordecai Jr. left land in New Jersey to his sons by his first wife. His land in Pennsylvania was left to his sons by his second wife, with his son Mordecai inheriting the house. John Lincoln, the eldest son of Mordecai Jr., was great-grandfather of President Lincoln. He was born in 1716 in New Jersey and owned several pieces of land in Lancaster and Berks counties. He lived at least 35 years in Pennsylvania, including 8 years in Amity Township. In 1765 he sold his Pennsylvania land before moving to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Several of his descendants were also named Mordecai or Abraham.
