Are you thinking of Elizabeth Humphreys? She's mentioned in Ruth Randall's book - Mary Lincoln Biography of a Marriage (page 19)

Or Susan Yandell?

Roger,
I have come to the conclusion that it is doubtful Susan Yandell and Mary Todd ever met. Susan was a young lady visiting Lexington in 1825 - when Mary would have been just turning seven years of age. Jean Baker's book uses a quote from a letter written by Susan to her father. However, when I did a name search in the Yandell family papers, there is no mention of the Parker or Todd families.

Perhaps this is another example of Baker making assumptions.
