Since Susan Jackson is mentioned on this thread, I thought it would be of interest to post this comment about her in John E. Washington's "They Knew Lincoln" (the new edition of which just came out): "Old Aunt Vina knew Susie Jackson and everybody in the county could never understand why Susie let Lincoln be killed when she knew that in Mrs. Surratt's house, where she worked, all the plans had been made. When this news got out every colored person for miles around felt it a disgrace to their race that she didn't tell about what was going on, because the war was over and nobody was going to hurt her."
