And, referring to your claim that Mary Lincoln had a noticeable scar on her forehead, I contacted one of the best known authors in the field who specializes in the history of Mrs. Lincoln. Here is the reply: "The daguerreotype is so obviously not Abraham and Mary Lincoln I don't even know what to say... In reading (literally) everything ever written by and about Mary Lincoln... , I can tell you I have never heard mention of a scar on her forehead. If there was a scar, I agree with you that one or more reporters would have written about it, some DC socialite who hated Mary would have written it in a later memoir, and Mary herself definitely would have complained about it in her own letters."

Laurie - on page 287 of the Kunhardt's book ... Lincoln - An Illustrated Biography ... is a photograph of Mary that was cropped and enlarged. It clearly shows the large scar on her forehead above her right eye.
