Tad was the youngest child, born 4 April 1853. He died at age 18 on 15 July 1871, also from tuberculosis.

Robert (1 August 1843 - 26 July 1926) was the first-born and the only child to survive into adulthood. He attended Harvard, served briefly on General Grant's staff in the closing months of the Civil War, practiced law like his father, and served as Secretary of War, 1881-1885, under Presidents Garfield and Arthur.

President and Mrs Lincoln, and their three younger sons are interred in the family tomb in Springfield. Robert desired it to be his final resting place as well, but his wife, Mary Harlan Lincoln, chose to have him buried in Arlington National Cemetery instead.
