Research Notes:
Mary Todd was well educated spending some of her teen years in a French school in Lesington, KY. She was witty and a good conversationlist and had a premonition that she would marry someone that would be President of the United States. Her sister Mrs. Edwards described her courtship with Abraham Lincoln as follows:
"I have often happened in the room where they were sitting, and Mary invariable led the conversation. Mr. Lincoln would sit at her side and listen. He scarcly said a word, but gazed on her as if irresistibly drawn toward her by some superior and unseen power. He was charmed with her wit and fascinated by her quick sagacity. But he could not maintain himself in a continued conversation with a lady reared as Mary was."
Mary Todd had many trials in ife and is not remembered well in history. She and Abraham Lincoln had four children, three of whom died before adulthood. Little Eddie died when he was four years old, Willie when he was 12 and Tad when he was 18. It must have been difficult being married to a man with a very differnt upbringing than her own who traveled in his law practice eventually taking her to the White House where she was hated by the Northerners because she had brothers fighting for the confederacy and by the southerners because of her husband striving to preserve the union. Another great trial of Mary Todd was the assasination of her husband and the lack of sympathy for her by the press. ...more... [Ref: Johnson TODD]
