Jr.? edit
The article states his name is "Frederic Walker Lincoln, Jr.", yet he also apparently has a son named Frederic Walker Lincoln, Jr. and a grandson whose title article is Frederic W. Lincoln, Jr. (Although that article says his name is Frederic Walker Lincoln III)! I'm confused- how is this possible?
