IN her book "Nancy Hanks, the story of Abraham Lincoln's mother" - 1899, Caroline Hanks Hitchcock stated "All branches of the Hanks family in England  and America seem to come from the beautiful old town of Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England.

Focal point of the ancient town is the Malmesbury Abbey founded in 676 by Aldhelm.
