RE: Robert Todd Lincoln --The vitals
Am I wrong on this calculation or did I miscount?
If Mary had conceived in the wedding night, Robert's birth would have regularly scheduled July 28 (38 weeks). Robert was born 4 days later.
If she had been pregnant before she wouldn't have "evidently" known before the non-occurance of her next menstruation. Hence this would have added two weeks in case she made it to "convince" Lincoln to get married on the very wedding day, scheduling Robert's birth August 11.
I would think the wedding night a perfect match.
