[genevacheerleader02]

She was convicted unconstitutionally as a civilian by a military court.

hi im Hannah Surratt. Mary was my ancestor from my father's side and yes I do believe she is innocent!

[LeMightySabre]

The way she died makes her immortal. Her name will live forever in Americana.

@hannah14ization I was going to see what became of her children, where did they go after she was executed? Who raised them? How did you discover your family connection? I believe that she should not have been hung, regardless.

@Ilovedthe70s76 How bout it makes you sick that YankeeDumb would do this to anyone? Say Henry Wirz?, where there were those Yankees who testified against him but were never prisoners of Andersonville.? Didn't matter....he hanged also.

[MrKe4bss]

@hannah14ization That is because She was innocent! But Not during the time of Supreme YankeeDumb!

[Ilovedthe70s76]

Mary was innocent she was only guilty of being the Mother and running a boarding house, even when I was visiting all these places I couldn't believe she was involved in this, when I saw the now infamous picture of all them hanging it just makes me sick that they would do this to a women!!!

[Ilovedthe70s76]

The whole trail was a lynch mob! My God! Hanging a women back in the 1800's was never heard of. The prosecution tampered with the Defense witnesses, she didn't have a chance and the having it in a Military Court well they just might as well not even had a trial, she was already tried and convicted before the trial began!!! I'm a huge Lincoln buff and Civil War buff I've been to every single place of his Assassination, birth place all the way to his final resting place the Tomb.

[Ilovedthe70s76]

The first plan was to KIDNAP the President and when that failed the next plan was then to kill the President, Mary didn't know about about the second plan she only knew about the kidnapping that is what she is only guilty of, not the conspiracy to Kill Lincoln.

There is much info about Mary Surratt on Wikipedia for anyone interested. So far as her sympathies lie, the Surratt's had slaves, her son John Jr. was a confederate spy, Isaac Surratt left Maryland and joined the Confederate Army in Texas, the conspiracy was planned in her tavern, and "Booth had paid for the rental of the carriage which took Surratt to Surrattsville each time, and Bingham said this was evidence that Surratt's trips were critical to the conspiracy."-Wikipedia

route .. her daughter Anna SAID he was there that night- Wiechman was with her at Surratsville when he heard her tell Lloyd to ' have those shooting irons ready tonight because someone will be coming to get them" This was testified to by both Weichman & Lloyd at the trial. The defense tried to discredit them but could not because of all the evidence, police reports, and other witnesses verifying they were telling the truth in all matters relating to the case... innocent? No...
