Lincoln Financial Foundation file on Mrs. Surratt

[BettyO]

Or perhaps it was Mary Lincoln posing as Mary Surratt sitting beside Weichmann....remember that some folk seem to think that Mary Lincoln also had a hand in the assassination - perhaps SHE had a double sitting in the box with Abe and she was there to assist Booth and instigate the entire thing....after all, she didn't want her hubby to know how much she was spending on things for the house and herself....

Hey, we could start a whole new conspiracy theory!

Sorry - I'm just being facetious. I don't put a lot of stock in certain reports unless there are other newpaper reports/recollections to back up certain information. The idea that Mary Surratt was actually at Surratt Tavern when the "dynamic duo" rode up is absolutely absurd.
