Abe & Tom

Interesting tidbit that I did not know: President Lincoln and Tom Hanks are 3rd cousins, 4x’s removed. Their common ancestor is John Hanks (1680-1740), Honest Abe’s 2x’s Great Grandfather and Mr. Hank’s 4x’s Great Grandfather.
Also found an interesting site discussing ties between Abraham Lincoln and a John Hanks (1802-1889).
