Mary Ann Todd Lincoln, the wife of President Abraham Lincoln, was the First Lady of the United States from 1861 until 1865. Mary Lincoln was a well-educated member of a big, rich, slave-owning Kentucky family. After the birth of her younger sister, Ann Todd, she changed her name to Mary Ann Todd. She relocated to Springfield, Illinois, after graduating high school, to live with her married sister Elizabeth Edwards. Stephen A. Douglas, Abraham Lincoln's long-time political opponent, courted her before she married him. Only the eldest, Robert, survived both parents of the Lincolns' four boys. The Lincoln Home National Historic Site in Springfield preserves their family home and neighbourhood.
