edward lincoln did not die while lincoln served as president as stated in fact #10! get your facts straight…lincoln was elected in 1860 and served from 1861-1865

It mentioned that while he served in the white house not while he was president. Serving in the white house could mean anyone working in the white house…

“Edward Lincoln” is probably a mistake. It should be “William Lincoln”. The other point, come on. You can say Kennedy was elected in 1960 and served from 1961 also. Lastly, it didn’t say the end-year was a coincident.
