Question:

What was the name of President Lincoln's wife?

 

Answer:

Mary Todd Lincoln or Mary Ann Lincoln. Despite being commonly known as Mary Todd Lincoln, Mary did not use the Todd name after marrying Abraham. She often referred to Abe as "Mr. Lincoln" and he called her "Molly." No known photographs of the couple together exist, but they must have been a sight. At 6'4"tall, Abe towered more than a foot over his 5'2" wife.
