Where Was Abraham Lincoln Really Born?
Hollywood has tapped into the natural beauty of Rutherford County's Chimney Rock and Lake Lure for at least a half dozen movies including Dirty Dancing, and The Last Of The Mohicans. And there's a old story about the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln that would be perfect for the silver screen. And that may be exactly where this story may be headed some day.
There is a story that has been passed down thru the generations that says that Abraham Lincoln may have well indeed been born in a log cabin but it wasn't in Kentucky but on the banks of Puzzle Creek bear Bostic North Carolina about 65 miles west of Charlotte North Carolina.
History books for years have taught that Lincoln was born in a Log Cabin in Hardin County Kentucky on February 12th 1809 after his parents Nancy Hanks and Tom LIncoln were married. But there have always been serious doubt and questions about his birth and the time line associated with his parents marriage and his birth.
The alternate birth story says that as a child, Nancy Hanks the mother of Abraham Lincoln and her mother and sister moved from Virginia to her uncles home near Belmont North Carolina in what is now Gaston County. While there the family fell on hard times and they bound out Nancy in the late 1700's to the Abraham Enloe Family who were prosperous landowners on Puzzle Creek near what is now Bostic North Carolina.
Although she was a bound servant she was treated as a member of the family by the Enloe family and everything was fine until she became pregnant and it was said she was pregnant by Abraham Enloe whose family she had been working for.
The North Carolina legend says that the baby was born in 1805 and that Nancy Hanks named the baby Abraham. The legend says that Nancy and the baby boy Abraham were packed off to live with relatives on the Kentucky Frontier and it was there that Nancy Hanks met and married Tom Lincoln.
People in Kentucky always said that Abraham Lincoln was always a very large boy for his age. It may have very well been that he was several years older than what his mother and father Tom Lincoln claimed. It is a historical fact that Jesse Head the Methodist Minister that married Nancy Hanks and Tom Lincoln always said that the couple had a black haired boy with them at the wedding. If so and it was Abraham Lincoln then there is probably no way Tom Lincoln was the boys father. In all likelihood Abraham Enloe back in North Carolina was probably the boys father and if so then Abraham Lincoln probably was born in that Log Cabin on Puzzle Creek near Bostic North Carolina and not in Kentucky.

Yes I think so. I really believe he was born in North Carolina.
I have researced this story for 50 years and previously lived close to Bostic and have visited Puzzle creek many times. Tom Mellons' monument is nearbyindicating Abe as being a native son. my uncle told me several times tha his grandmother had told him when he was lilttle that her great great grandmother had been at a dance or dances at the old Vernon Price home and Nancy Hanks had been present and hAd infact sat on her lap and had talked to her .This was at the old Vernon Price house which has since burned down .I believe this story nowlm;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;urnes dwib biw, was on Duncon Creek Road
i think he was born in wva.
I visited Bostic, and saw the cabin's foundation and the plaque that reads: The Birth Place of Abe Lincoln- and read a book by a NC professor with photos of Abraham Enloe and all of his other sons.....Abe Lincoln could be their twin- all are almost 6'8" very tall - On the other hand, Tom Lincoln was about 5' tall and sqatty and an alcoholic, when Abraham Enloe paid Tom to take Nancy to KY to marry her- It was either that or Mrs. Enloe was going to blow a gasket! The whole charade was put together to be the "running for President" story- they wanted him to look good- so much for honest Abe!
waggonners,ironsmiths,tradesmen,clergymen and more passed through the broad rivers area to the hills and peaks due west of the coast.all were preyed upon by locals,hard drink and tales of gold that broke good men of good intent,a hot meal,sweet brandy and a haplis virginia girl child would start the month right.whose supply was always ample,with family in the clergy, postal service,land speculation,law enforcement slave and horse trade,stables and more.who you ask.president lincoln has close reveiw unto the likeness of samuel harrill rutherford nc large hands,longforarms,stiff brow.his family controlled most aspects economic and political at that time in that area.as always proven of life and history,the wealthy control the weak.if anyone took advantage of a young girl behind the cherry bounce tavern bostic nc 200yrs ago its a harrill 3b3b3b

Undoubtedly, Abraham Enloe was Abraham Lincoln's father. Take a look at the picture of Wesley Enloe and notice the physaical characteristics. Yep, I say that Lincoln was born in North Carolina.
