Just a side response to the fact that Mrs. Lincoln saved Parker from the draft: I don't think that instituted any friendship between the two. The prime duty of the White House guards (of which he was one) was to protect the interior furnishings from the constant theft, vandalism, souvenir snipping, etc. Mrs. Lincoln had spent a lot of money on much of those furnishings and wanted them protected.
