This photo was found in Newark, New Castle County, Delaware. This is a beautiful early CDV photo of a much loved young boy in a handmade gingham suit, sitting in an early small wicker chair, high button shoes, in the Civil War era. Is he named after President Abraham Lincoln? He later became an attorney, lawyer in the Syracuse NY area, and traveled extensively as per his passport applications. We do not see evidence that he ever married.

This surname is also seen in earlier records as Diechert, a German surname of the Rhine Palitinate area of Germany, where they came to America and first settled in the Hudson Valley of New York. Lincoln Dygert is buried at the Phoenix Rural Cemetery in Phoenix, Oswego County, New York.
