In Lincoln at Gettysburg, Garry Wills notes the parallels between Lincoln’s speech and Pericles’s Funeral Oration during the Peloponnesian War as described by Thucydides. But I do believe that Lincoln did in fact write it.

Lincoln himself wrote it, in fact he made modifications to it while he was on the train travelling to PA.

Officially Abraham Lincoln wrote the speech at the Whitehouse, but made changes to it on the train ride to Gettysburg. Exactly when he may have written it is unclear. The address was delivered on November 19th, 1863, in Gettysburg Pennsylvania.
