Original Note:
Three Army officers who knew Moses J. Robinette wrote to Lincoln and asked the President to overturn the conviction. They argued that Robinette was simply defending himself against a larger, stronger man. They also vouched for his loyalty to the Union. Lincoln pardoned him. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/abraham-lincoln-pardoned-joe-bidens-great-great-grandfather-documents-reveal-180983837/
