MCCWRT: Lincoln Assassination-- Robert Parker and John Parker

A relative of Mary Lincoln, Robert Parker, got certified as a sutler, probably through her efforts.  She also got him deferred from the Army.

John Parker and Mary never gave their statements after the assassination.  Parker continued on duty at the White House in the following days until Mary accused him of murdering her husband according to Mary;s dressmaker.

The Confederate Secret Service also had plans to kidnap Abraham Lincoln, but no proof has been found that Booth was working with them.
