   Why is Sinking Spring named as such?

   • Sinking Spring is named after the fact that the water dropped into a pit and disappeared into the earth. Early records generally refer to the landmark as Sinking Spring due to this characteristic. As a perennial source of water, the spring was probably a deciding factor in Thomas Lincoln's selection for the location of the Lincoln cabin site.

Perhaps the Lincolns bought it because it was closer to Nancy’s relatives and only three miles south of Hodgen’s mill.
