Was Mary Todd Lincoln related to Dolley Madison?
Dolley was a widow when she married James Madison. Her first husband's surname was Todd. What I am wondering about is if there was a connection, loose as it may be, by marriage between the wife of our 4th President and the wife of our 16th President. Her first husband's name was John. I've looked at some sources and could not find a familial connection between the Todds of Philadelphia and the Todds of Lexington Kentucky. Has any Todd geneologist found any connection?

But a connection by marriage is pretty weak. I don't know of any such connection, anyway.
