Abraham Lincoln had 4 sons.
Robert "Todd" Lincoln was born in 1843, and died in 1926, at age 82. Robert died of a cerebral hemorrhage induced by Arteriosclerosis. Robert was the only one of Lincoln's four sons to live past the age of 18.
Edward Baker Lincoln, or "Eddie," was born in 1846, and died just 6 weeks before his 4th birthday, on February 1, 1850. Census records list "chronic consumption," as the cause of death. Consumption is also known as tuberculosis, to which most sources attribute Eddie's death.
William Wallace Lincoln or "Willie" was born in December of 1850, and died in February of 1862; he was just 11. The cause of death was likely Typhoid fever contracted by drinking contaminated water.
Thomas "Tad" Lincoln was born in April of 1853, and died in July of 1871, at the age of 18. He likely died from tuberculosis.
It has been suggested that Abraham Lincoln had a rare genetic cancer, which may have been passed down to all three of his sons, who died young.
Approximately 95% of patients who possess the genetic trait MEN2B or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2B develop Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, a rare genetic cancer, exhibit physical traits such as a long and tall, marfan-like body shape; large, bumpy lips; and displaced jaws.
Dr. John Soto, has suggested that Abraham Lincoln suffered or carried the trait MEN2B, as he had all the physical elements of someone afflicted with MEN2B. If Soto's theory is correct, then patients with MEN2B pass on this trait to 50% of their children through a paternal link, with sons twice as likely to inherit the trait than daughters. Sons as early as age 4 can develop Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, which possesses symptoms very similar to tuberculosis such as weakness or "wasting away."
Dr. Soto suggests that Lincoln had the trait, which can be found in his family history, and passed the disorder to his sons Eddie, Willie, and Tad. Dr. Soto suggests that his sons died of Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, and not tuberculosis and typhoid fever.
Dr. Soto and and medical historian Jacob Appel have recently campaigned to have DNA testing conducted on a pillowcase stained with Lincoln's blood that is owned by the Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Museum and Library in Philadelphia. This effort has generated considerable debate among privacy advocates.

Abraham Lincoln has no direct descendants. Of his four children, only Robert lived to adulthood. Robert had three children, two daughters that did not marry, and a son Abraham Lincoln II, who died as an young adult. Robert's last living daughter died in 1948. However, living in the U.S. there are numerous descendants of Abraham's grandfather, that is from Abraham's blood uncles, aunts, and cousins. So, no direct descendants, but many blood relatives. Robert Todd Lincoln "BUD" Beckwith was Abraham Lincoln's last known direct descendant; he was Lincoln's great-grandson. He was born in Riverside, Illinois on July 19, 1904, and died on December 24, 1985 in Middlesex Co., VA. He did not have any children. He had an older sister, Mary, who was born in 1898, and died in 1975. "Bud" and Mary's parents were Jessie Lincoln (Beckwith) and Warren Beckwith. Jessie Lincoln Beckwith was the daughter of Robert Todd "Bob" Lincoln, the only one of Abraham Lincoln's four sons, to survive past the age of 18. Abraham Lincoln most certainly has surviving cousins, who are currently living. Tom Hanks, the actor, is said to be a distant cousin of Lincoln's, related through Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks (Lincoln).
