Jessie Harlan Lincoln (November 6, 1875 – January 4, 1948) was the second daughter of Robert Todd Lincoln, the granddaughter of Abraham Lincoln, and the mother of Mary Lincoln Beckwith and Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, the last undisputed Lincoln descendant.
Jessie Harlan Lincoln was born on November 6, 1875, in Chicago, Illinois to Mary Eunice Harlan and Robert Todd Lincoln. At the time of her birth, Robert Lincoln was practicing law in Chicago. She was the last of three children of Robert Todd Lincoln. Jessie's sister and brother were, respectively:
Lincoln spent part of her childhood in Washington, D.C. when her father was Secretary of War from 1881 to 1885. She later lived in London, England when her father was the Minister to Great Britain from 1889 to 1893. Jessie's brother, Abraham Lincoln II, died on March 5, 1890 in London at the age of 16, and three years later, the family returned to America, ultimately to Mary Eunice Harlan's mother's residence in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Jessie and her sister were piano students in the summer session of Iowa Wesleyan in 1886. She was later initiated into the Pleasant Chapter A of the P.E.O. Sisterhood on December 31, 1895, an organization of which her sister, Mary "Mamie" Lincoln, had become a member more than 11 years prior.
