There are no particularly famous descendants of Mary Todd Lincoln. The genealogy has been well recorded and can be found on many web sites through search engines. Nonetheless, anyone who descended from the Lincolns has a good family story to tell. There may have been some who achieved minor notoriety, but no one truly famous.

Actually, my husband always insisted that he was a descendant of Mary Todd Lincoln on his mother's side, and told everyone how his grandmother was a member of the DAR. This seemed confirmed by a line in his grandmother's obituary. However, when I attempted to have my daughters join the DAR, no record of this lineage was found.
