  5.   Family Notes, in Source Needed.

    Mary Todd grew up in comfort in Lexington, Kentucky. At the age of 20, she moved to her sister's in Springfield, where she met Abraham Lincoln. They married when she was 23, and they had four sons while he worked as a lawyer and ran for public office. Only two lived beyond childhood, and only one to adulthood. Mary was generally considered mentally unstable, exacerbated by the deaths of her children and the assassination of her husband in her presence. She was disliked in Washington as First Lady both for her difficult personality and her Southern background.
