Were Lincoln and Ward Hill Lamon law "partners?"

Thank you, Donna! Did Herndon fabricate the story to hurt Mary?

P.S. Rob, I didn't word that very well. The reference to "without looking it up" was a reference to my own laziness in not going to look it up. I have since acquired the energy to get out of this chair and look it up. Sandburg writes, "The wedding was set for New Year's Day, 1841. In the kitchen of the Edwards house the wedding cakes were put in the oven. And then something happened. The bride was ready. The groom didn't come. It was a phantom wedding, mentioned in hushes. There was gossip and dispute about whether the wedding had been set for that date at all."
