3. "professional skepticism" aside....The coincidences mentioned

ARE impressive...Snopes obviously has no answers for a number of things (succeeding presidents of the same name...reversal of secretary's names, birth dates, Presidential election dates, congressional appointment dates,etc.)..Snopes is essentially "splitting hairs" for difference in an effort to undermine this truly unusual series of "coincidences".

9. Mr. Lincoln had two secretaries in the Whitehouse. . .

John Hay and John Nicolay. Together, they wrote one of the more comprehensive biographies of Mr Lincoln, the 10 volume Abraham Lincoln: A History. John Hay went on to become William McKinley's Secretary of State.

John Kennedy had one secretary while in office, Evelyn Lincoln, who was with him from the day he entered the Senate until his assassination.
