RE: Did Robert Lincoln Ride the Funeral Train to Baltimore?
Judge Davis was not a family member, he was the judge on the 8th circuit and and acquaintant of Abraham Lincoln from those days. After Lincoln's death he became the executor of the Lincoln estate. A close friend? As for Abraham Lincoln sure not an intimate like J. Speed. Mary considered him a friend until she learned from the newspapers that he had forwarded Robert the double amount of money from the estate already before the final settling of the inheritance although all three (Mary, Tad + Robert) were entitled to the same portion and should have been treated the same (and both, Robert and Mary were in equal "need" of money). Thus certainly a good friend of Robert's as he also plotted with him to get Mary institutionalized.
