That's impressive. All my step sons family that are related to Mordecai are in Ohio. Karen, my wife, took a picture of what you posted and sent it to my step sons grandmother, who is also a decedent. Karen is wondering if there is a link or relationship that she isn't aware of. I think this is interesting. Thanks for posting!!!

President has VaJohn as his GGF, that’s common point of wife, your stepsons lineage.

GGF Va John
GF Capt Abraham (brother to Capt Jacob, wife’s lineage)
F Thomas Lincoln (brother Mordecai)
President Lincoln

Your stepson would be a first cousin, my wife is a 2nd cousin to President.
My wife and your stepson are probably 5-6th cousin.

I made a huge spreadsheet of all the Va Lincoln’s, here is a sample

I ran our two bathroom fans into one vent pipe and plumbed it up near a whirly bird roof vent. I had to go into the attic and cut the pipe off just above the insulation last Winter. When used it would condense in the cold pipe and drip out of the ceiling vent.......

Was this a problem that recently occurred? Or was it an issue the whole time you lived their?

This is on our new house that we've been in one year. First time it got cold, as in below 20 degrees and fan was used it dripped. Friend of mine ran his fan vents horizontally to the eave and vented there. That put all of the vent tube buried in the insulation where it isn't as cold. The drip is simple condensation of warm air entering the cold tubing. We used PVC pipe for vent tubing.
