Wrong Lincoln Site Honored
SWANTON MORLEY, England — (UPI) — For years American tourists have been trooping to this tiny English village to gaze fondly at the site of the home of Abraham Lincoln's ancestors.
THE NATIONAL Trust, custodian of Britian's historical sites, reported that they've all been looking at the wrong spot.
The real Lincoln home—or what's left of it—now is part of a tavern a quarter-mile away.
The story begins in 1615 when Richard Lincoln, a resident of Swanton Morley, signed a will cutting off his eldest son, Edward, without a shilling.
Three of Edward's sons, thus impoverished, emigrated to America. One, Samuel Lincoln, founded a family that gave birth to the American Civil War President.
In 1544, 300 years later, Col. John Leslie, of nearby Brancaster, came upon a manorial map dated 1692 and found what he believed to be the site of Richard Lincoln's old home, now occupied by an orchard.
LESLIE BOUGHT the land and turned it over to the National Trust in a ceremony at the U.S. Embassy.
In 1945, an architect did some investigating and decided that Leslie had confused two road junctions that the true site of the Lincoln home was where the Angel Inn now stands.
He told the Trust, which acquired options to buy the inn when it came up for sale.
But the legend about Leslie's orchard grew. The Trust now has issued the official word—the Angel Inn is the true site.
Federalist Documents By Madison
MINNEAPOLIS — (UPI) — Modern statistical methods have pinpointed the author of 11 of the "Federalist Papers" which helped shape the government of this nation, two mathematicians report.
Profs. Frederick Mosteller of Harvard University and David L. Wallace of the University of Chicago said they had established that James Madison, fourth President of the United States, was the author.
THEY TOLD the joint meeting of the American Statistical Association and two other learned societies that Madison's authorship had been established through the frequency with which such words as "also," "thfs," "both," "commonly" "apt," "work," and "vigor," appeared in the 11 essays.
The "Federalist Papers" were a series of 77 articles which appeared in New York newspapers shortly before the ratification of The Constitution. All of them were signed "Publius." It had been established that 14 were written by Madison, 43 by Alexander Hamilton and 5 by John Jay.
Historians have believed that 12 of the remaining papers were written by Hamilton or Madison and the other three were works of joint authorship.
Mosteller and Wallace said their studies showed clear indication that Madison wrote the 11 single-author essays and that he probably wrote the 12th, also.
