Mary Surratt's personal life

[Jim Garrett]

I think it's very easy for tongues to wag. Mary Surratt was extremely devoted to the church. I think the last thing Mrs. Surratt would do would become romantically involved with a priest. My grandmother was Catholic and the person she was closest to was her priest. She was in an unhappy marriage and after the death of her husband, she probably had an increase in her spiritual needs.
