Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[William Berry]

Just curious as to what members here think of the Ann Rutledge story?

1. I think it's a nice story, but no real proof so I think it's spurious.
2. I think it likely happened the way it's been reported.
3. I'm not sure.
4. No one will ever know.

Best
Rob

on the eve of Ann death Lincoln spent the nite at Rev John Berry home pacing the floor

Thanks Roger. Yes, it would seem that very little of Ann's remains were moved. In effect, she is really still in Old Concord. It's too bad her resting place was disturbed at all.
