I know it is not B. It was marked wrong.
If I go to the records and find out who owned a piece of property in 1860, it's on record at the register of deeds office, it's not "he said that she said that Abe Lincoln owned that land." I got it from the source. Figure it out from there.
The records show the property was owned by Hiram Snodgrass, not anyone named Lincoln.
