Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith (July 19, 1904 – December 24, 1985) was the great-grandson of Abraham Lincoln.〔 In 1975, he became the last undisputed descendant of Lincoln when his sister, "Peggy" Beckwith, died without children.〔Lincoln's Last Descendant Dies. Madison Wisconsin Courier, December 26, 1985, from a clipping in Louis A. Warren Lincoln Library and Museum.〕 Timothy Lincoln Beckwith was born to Robert Beckwith's then wife, Annemarie Hoffman Beckwith, in 1968, though he disputed his paternity. ==Life and career== Beckwith was born in Riverside, Illinois, to Jessie Harlan Lincoln and Warren Wallace Beckwith. Jessie was the daughter of Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert. Robert Todd Lincoln and his wife, Mary, had three children; their youngest, Jessie, eloped in 1897 with Warren Beckwith, a classmate and football star at Iowa Wesleyan College. They had two children: Mary Lincoln Beckwith, who died in 1975, and Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith. Beckwith attended a private school in Washington D.C. and New York Military Academy in New York, as well as spending two years at his grandfather Robert Todd Lincoln's previous boarding school, Phillips Exeter Academy. In later life he gave his profession as "gentleman farmer of independent means", his inheritance having included a working farm. Beckwith enjoyed the hobby of boating and sailing and generally avoided the media and publicity. On one occasion, a newspaper published pictures of him as a young man when arrested for speeding in the city of Omaha, Nebraska. Beckwith's first marriage, which lasted 30 years, was to an older widow with a son ten years his junior. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
