Yes because those were the richest people at the time. No diseases or bad diets for them.

Lincoln was born into poverty in a log cabin in Kentucky and was raised on the frontier, primarily in Indiana. He was self-educated and became a lawyer, Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator, and U.S. congressman from Illinois.

These people were elected into positions of power. Height is a major trait found in leaders. More like the average height for an anglo man elected in the 1800s into a high ranking office. Says less about genes and more about the nature of society at the time.
