e little household. It was here that Abraham Lincoln was born. Themanger at Bethlehem was not a more unlikely birth-place. And here he remained until he was four yearsold, and then the elder Lincoln migrated to another farmsome six miles from Hodgensville, on Knob Creek,whoseclear waters flowed at length into the Ohio, twenty-fourmiles below Louisville. This new move that might haveproved advantageous—for the banks of the creek and thevalleys of the region gave great promise of fertility—was like Thomas Lincolns other experiences; only sixacres out of the two hundred and thirty-eight that madeup the farm, were worked, and no permanent title to theland was acquired by him.
