No. He was way too poor prior to the beginning of the Civil War and didn't believe in it. (Incorrect; see below) The above answer is absolutely incorrect. It is true that he was too poor to own slaves (due to his own business failures) but he did inherit a slave by the name of William Jones from his father-in-law in 1858. He would manumit Jones one year later. His wife, Julia, did own four slaves herself. She was from a slave holding family. Grant also ran a slave operated farm in White Haven, Missouri, delegating duties and chores such as chopping firewood and caring after the livestock. Grant often worked alongside the farm's slaves, as was a common practice of "hired help". There are reference links below.
No- Lincoln did not own slaves. He lived his entire adult life in Indiana and Illinois where slavery was not legal so he could not own slaves even if he wanted to .
