The game starts with the poser giving 3 "things" that belong to a group.
Each day the poser adds another "thing" until the group is guessed.

Whoever gets the group start the next game.

Is it firsts?
I know Abe Lincoln was the first republican U.S president and Robert Peel was probably the first Prime minister for his party.
I haven't googled these people as I think that would be considered cheating.

If you googled Lincoln to see if he was the first Republican president, would that be cheating?

If you googled Lincoln it would no doubt tell you he was the first U.S Republican president.
That might then give you a clue to the answer so you could then google the others and see if "firsts" was the answer so it could possibly be construed as not in the spirit of the game.For example I know the names of 3 of the stars in the Orion constellation without reference to any literature so if I was to use those for a puzzle you would only have to google one of them to find the answer

If you used Google to confirm that Lincoln was the first Republican president, how would that be cheating? Where does the clue come in?

I think we're splitting hairs here my friend.
Ok, if your thought process was "I wonder if the answer is "firsts" I'll google one of the subjects to see if they were in fact a first? then that would not be cheating.
However, if you googled all three,having no clue beforehand who they were and you discovered they were all "firsts" in their particular field I would consider that to be not in the spirit of the game IF the idea of the game is to test one's general knowledge.
I think there's a quiz show on U.K TV(I think it's called connections)that asks these sort of things.
I don't watch it much because I'm rubbish at it.
As soon as they start talking about celebrities and films I'm totally lost

It's early but I'll add another name.(Incidentally the order is arbitrary)

Mahatma Gandhi
Sir Robert Peel
Abraham Lincoln
Nelson Mandela

That's a hair that needs splitting

I wasn't planning to, but thanks just the same.

No need for Google - they were all law students / lawyers.

Adding another (remember this is a group ... a smallish group)

Mahatma Gandhi
Sir Robert Peel
Abraham Lincoln
Nelson Mandela
Winston Churchill

Hmmmm ... had to do some deeper research. They all have statues in Tavistock Square., London. Also known as Parliament Square.
