1. Lincoln’s mother died (1) in infancy.

To die in infancy means, to die when you are a baby. If his mother died when she was a baby, then she wouldn't have been able to give birth to Lincoln. Babies cannot have babies. :wink:

1. When Lincoln was in his infancy/was an infant, his mother died.

Also, technically, 'was shot by', not 'got shot by'

4. Lincoln was shot by Booth.
