For all interested persons to understand the justification and reasoning behind the "alleged" lunacy of Mary Todd Lincoln.

Mary Ann Todd was born in Lexington, Kentucky on December 13, 1818 to Eliza and Robert Todd, a rather prominent family. She had six siblings. Her mother died when Mary Ann was only six years old. Many women died in this era due to complications of birth and incurable diseases.


Jean H. Baker wrote an excellent biography of a woman who is misunderstood by many. She revealed the details of Mary Todd's life that gave her justification to be different and gave me an appreciation for a woman that went through so much. She did tend to want more than she had, but when someone is always grieving, they usually find something that makes them happy: for Mary Todd Lincoln, it was spending money (or more appropriately, charging).

In 1839, Mary Todd met and began a relationship with Abraham Lincoln. Abraham was not of her status, but she had a "feeling" that he would take her to the White House one day. They loved each other and were married in 1842.
