(You might do best to check this thread first.)

The below quote, though not in the below audio is from a volume 3 of a book called Scarlet & the Beast by a John Daniel. As to the truth of John Daniel's book, I make no assertions. However, it might give insight as to the there being strong distinctions between early 1700s Masonic lodges (which seem to have then been social clubs rather than religious orders) in early America and French/English Freemasonry. Lincoln apparently was not a Freemason at all.
The following is part one of two-part audio concerning Abraham Lincoln's lack of involvement in Freemasonry. Each of the two parts is only about ten minutes long and worth listening to IMHO.
