Dumb Descendants

Lincoln had 3 great-grandchildren. And none of them had children of their own. I’m shocked by this. All these people had to do was continue the famous bloodline but they let it die. How can people be so dumb?

All three lived to old age. So it’s not like they died before they could procreate. Useless, wasted lives of utter uselessness. Unbelievable.

  1. This is an odd story, let alone for such a famous family. Were they cursed? Were they cultural forerunners of today’s childless multitudes?

    1. Very odd. People spend lifetimes searching for meaning, and these morons have baked-in meaning. All they needed to do is procreate, keep the line going. And they all failed.

      Incredible.

        Looking into it a little… the two men both married women with children (not sure if divorced/widowed or what….) so I’m wondering how much was them not wanting to procreate vs wives deciding they had enough children.

        The woman gives very strong lesbian vibes (and not the femme kind).

        1. The women are weird, too. If you already managed to marry Lincoln’s offspring, how can you not want to pass on the genes? You’ve won the genetic lottery by default.

          Weird, silly people.

    2. “were they cursed?”

      yes.

      Lincoln’s family had an extraordinarily high rate of early death, even for the time.

        I’m wondering how much Mary Todd Lincoln’s mental issues were public knowledge… (or knowledge within the marriage pool that the Lincoln descendants faced) IINM (and I could be) “insanity” among one’s ancestors could be an obstacle to marriage as it was thought to be hereditary.

        It could explain the men marrying women who already had children (whose prospects were also not great).
