WashPost: Lincoln Pardoned Biden Ancestor
Newsmax ^ | February 19, 2024 | Brian Freeman

Documents discovered at the National Archives in Washington show that former President Abraham Lincoln pardoned the great-great-grandfather of President Joe Biden, a Union Army civilian employee named Moses Robinette, The Washington Post reported Monday.

Joseph Robinette Biden's ancestral line has long been known and includes Moses Robinette among his paternal ancestors from western Maryland, but little has been chronicled about the man until his court-martial records were discovered.

The story dates to March 21, 1864 during the Civil War, when a fight broke out in one of the mess tents near Beverly Ford, Virginia, between Robinette and Union Army civilian employee John Alexander.

Moses claimed the notebook was inadmissible because it was stolen from his Daughter.

Surprising that a Senator from W. Virginia would recommend the release of a Union soldier.

The whole argument broke out when Alexander accused Robinette of sniffing his daughters.

It should not matter what the great-great-grandfather of President Joe Biden did or didn’t do in the Civil War.

This is a stupid waste of time.
