William Herndon (lawyer)
William Henry Herndon (December 25, 1818 – March 18, 1891) was the law partner and biographer of President Abraham Lincoln. He was an early member of the new Republican Party and was elected mayor of Springfield, Illinois.
==Early life==
He was born the first child of Archer G. Herndon (1795–1867) and his wife on December 25, 1818 in Greensburg, Kentucky. His family moved to Illinois in 1820. Another child was born to Archer and his wife in Macon County, Illinois. By the spring of 1821 the family was living in Sangamon County. When William was five, the family settled in the German Prairie settlement located five miles northeast of Springfield. Two more children were born to the family there.
Herndon's father Archer built the first tavern in Springfield and was engaged in other forms of mercantile business from 1825 to 1836. He was also involved in politics as state senator; he was one of the men instrumental in having the state capital moved to Springfield.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Herndon-Weik collection of Lincolniana, circa 1824-1933 - Biographical Notes for William Herndon )〕
William, known as "Billy" at the time, worked for his father at the Indian Queen hotel before he attended college. It was one of the first hotels in Springfield.〔
