Timothy Lincoln Beckwith was born on October 14, 1968, in Williamsburg, Virginia, to Mistress Annemarie Hoffman Beckwith, then married to Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith. His mother grew up in Hanover, Germany, moved to the United States and became a student at the College of William and Mary.
However, Robert had had a vasectomy six years before he and Annemarie were wed. He visited his doctor and concluded that he was ‘completely sterile’. However, since Timothy had not actually been proven to not be Beckwith"s son, the Court said that the boy retained the right to present a future claim of being a Lincoln descendant, thereby inheriting the Lincoln estate.
Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith died in 1985 and Annemarie moved to West Berlin.
By 1994, she was said to have remarried and was living somewhere in the United States. Timothy Lincoln Beckwith currently lives in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he is an attorney with the Florida State Attorney" General’ s Office.
He graduated from the University of Florida College of Law. Timothy has since avoided public attention and does not grant interviews.
