Mary Todd Lincoln's Confederate Connection

From Girl Power!  Mary Todd Lincoln site.

Mary Lincoln's brother, George Rogers Clark Todd and her half-brothers Alexander Todd, David Todd and  and Samuel Todd all fought for the Confederacy.

Alexander Todd was killed at the Battle of Baton Rouge.  Samuel Briggs Todd was killed at the Battle of Shiloh.  David Todd was wounded at Vicksburg.

Her half-sister Emilie Helm's husband was a Confederate brigadier general and was killed at the Battle of Chickamauga.

The husbands of half-sisters Martha White and Elodie Dawson were ardent supporters of the Confederacy as were they.
