Edward Baker Lincoln (March 10, 1846 – February 1, 1850) was the second son of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. He was named after Lincoln's close friend, Edward Dickinson Baker. Both Abraham and Mary spelled his name "Eddy";[1] however, the National Park Service uses "Eddie" as a nickname[2] and the nickname also appears spelled this way on his crypt at the Lincoln tomb.
