Lincoln-Rice cousins (Pres. Abraham Lincoln’s kin)

Here is what I believe to be the connection between Elizabeth Lincoln and President Abe Lincoln (1st cousins once removed).
Catherine Rice, (my GGGgrandmother) d/o David Rice & Elizabeth Lincoln, would have been Abe’s 2nd cousin, as follows:
Catherine Rice < Elizabeth LINCOLN & David Rice < Thomas LINCOLN & Elizabeth Casner < John LINCOLN & Rebecca Flowers (common ancestors)
President Abraham Lincoln < Thomas LINCOLN & Nancy Hanks < Abraham LINCOLN & Bathsheba Herring < John LINCOLN & Rebecca Flowers (common ancestors)
hope this helps.
