Abe's Childhood
When Abe was two, the family moved to nearby Knob Creek Farm. Because his father had issues with the title to the farm had with the title to the farm, Abe's father moved his family to Pigeon Creek, Indiana in 1816 where the seven year-old Abraham helped him build a log cabin in the woods. Two years later, Abe's mother died of “milk sickness.” Milk sickness is a rare disease caused by drinking the milk or consuming the meat of a cow that had fed on poisonous roots. In 1819, however, his father remarries to a woman named Sarah Bush Johnston, whom Abraham would call “mother.” Sarah was a kind and warm women who brought her three children, Matilda, Elizabeth, and John to the Lincoln homestead to live with Abraham and his sister.
