RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 07-13-2026
Teddy's daughter Alice Roosevelt?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 07-14-2026
Nope, it's not Alice Roosevelt.
Hint #1: Her father knew Abraham Lincoln very well.
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 07-14-2026
Could this be the daughter of Ninian and Elizabeth Todd Edwards (Mary Lincoln's older sister) ?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 07-14-2026
Nope.
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 07-14-2026
Grace Dupee Chamberlain?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 07-15-2026
Nope, it's not Grace Dupee Chamberlain.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 07-15-2026
I just happened to look at my Lincoln books and saw the spine for a biography of John Nicolay, so I will guess that it's Helen Nicolay.

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 07-15-2026
Nope, it's not Helen Nicolay. In a way, this is the closest guess so far.
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 07-15-2026
While I don't have a second guess, I just wanted to point out that this post proves why Roger is the GOAT when it comes to trivia. My hat is in my hand, sir.
Carry on...

Based on this subtle hint, I will guess either Alice or Helen Hay - daughters of John Hay.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 07-16-2026
Very good, Scott. Kudos! Yes, it's John Hay's daughter, Helen Hay Whitney. She led quite an active life. My next hint was going to be that she once had a horse which won the Kentucky Derby.

Okay, Scott. That means we get to split the prize money.
