BTW Eva., where did you read that Robert received more $$ than Mary? I've always read that since Lincoln died without a will, his estate (roughly $90,000 at the time of his death) was split three ways. With Davis as Administrator it actually grew to $110,000 by the time it was settled, and it was divided equally between Lincoln's three heirs.

When Tad died at 18, Mary inherited Tad's share. But she actually turned it over to Robert because he had a family by then and she felt he needed it more than she did. Very generous of her.
