Mary Todd Lincoln's "Family Divided"-- Part 2


One whole  page of the article was devoted to Mary Todd Lincoln's "Confederate" siblings and there were eight of them who either served in Confederate armies, were married to ones serving in Confederate armies or were sympathetic to the Confederate side.

Pictures accompanied the names.

GEORGE ROGERS CLARK TODD

(1825-1902)

Confederate Army surgeon

Was a full brother to Mary

****************************
MARGARET TODD KELLOGG

(1828-1904)

Married a southern sympathizer from Ohio

****************************
SAMUEL TODD

(1830-1862)

Private 24th Louisiana  KIA

This one was most likely Samuel Briggs Todd, but also might have been Samuel Brown Todd.  I've seen conflicting accounts of who is who.  All say Brown or Briggs was half brother to Mary.

Killed at Battle of Shiloh.

DAVID HUMPHREYS TODD

(1832-1871)  Lieutenant, 21st Louisiana Artillery
