Here is one for Mary Surratt taking Wine of Valerian:
New York Times
And an account of her requiring assistance due to "failing limbs":
New York Herald
In Alias Paine it is said that "stimulants" were received by everyone aside from Lewis. Whether or not this means Wine of Valerian for Davey and George, I do not know.
I've got the reference where they took the Wine of Valerian and George Atzerodt asked for Brandy -- gotta go through my files - I'm looking....hang tight (oops! Bad choice of words!!!) HA!
