Got a bunch of Lincolns

Hi

A certain sheriff's name was: Tyree Lincoln.

When he was introducing himself to another guy he said: Just call me Tyree, everybody does, Ben. Got a bunch of Lincolns in my family. Like most folks round here the Tyrees fought for the Union. Pleased to meet you.

Does it mean that in his family there are a lot of people driving Lincolns?
