Mary Todd Lincoln's "Family Divided"-- Part 1

From the February 2018 Civil War Times "I Do Not Think of Peace:  Elodie Todd loved a Confederate officer, Her half-sister married Abraham Lincoln" by Susannah J. Ural.

This is the article that got me doing the Mary Todd Lincoln Confederate connection.

""Families divided" can be an overused Civil War expression.  In the case of Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of President Abraham Lincoln, however, it is apt.

"Her father, Robert Smith Todd, had eight children by his second wife, Elizabeth Humphreys.  In addition to Elodie, all of Mary Todd's half siblings, and one full brother, George Rogers Clark Todd, expressed loyalty to the Confederacy  by service, marriage, or sympathy."
