The Evening Star, February 10, 1865, page 2, column 2: Lieutenant General U.S. Grant - Mrs. Grant, two children, with two of the General's Staff, arrived at Willard's at 12 o'clock this morning . The family and staff will attend Ford's Theater tonight, and in all probability the General, to witness Clarke in de Boots.
The Evening Star, February 11, 1865, page 2, column 6: The President and General Grant at Ford's. President Lincoln, accompanied by Lieutenant General Grant, visited Ford's Theater last evening~ followed soon after by Major General Burnside. The audience welcomed the distinguished visitors with the most vociferous cheering, the orchestra struke up "Hail to the Chief," and for some moments the performance on the stage was altogether suspended. The President and General Grant remained until the close of the program."

Tom gives two more sources for Grant and Burnside with Lincoln at Ford's on Feb.10,1865: the "Washington Chronicle" of Feb. 12+19, and the "Washington Star" (sounds it could be the same Roger posted though) of Feb.10+21.
Haven't counted yet, looks as if there's nothing to add to Angela's list than the people who went with him.
