WFT Vol. 7, #2546 has "Globe Tavern".
11. Frank J. Williams, "Robert Todd Lincoln and John Hay, Fellow Travelers," Lincoln Herald, Spring 1994, Vol. 96, No. 1, pages 3-14: 8, "Seeking biographical information, Hay asked Robert where he was born and Robert answered, on November 3, 1886, that he believed he was born in the Globe Tavern."
12. He died in his sleep during the night between July 25 and July 26, 1926. "...the servant who went to his room preparatory to serving his breakfast found he had died in the night." Various sources give the death date as July 25, so it may have been determined that he died before midnight.
Also have copy of his death certificate, which gives 3 a.m. as time of death

26. Connie Jo King, "Her Middle Name Was Lincoln: The Life of Mary Lincoln "Peggy" Beckwith," Amherst, MA: University of Massachusetts, 1995, 10, "The photo of Peggy was taken in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where she was born..."

32. From Christopher Childs, I have "March 14, 1937", but twice King in "Her Middle Name Was Lincoln" gives 1927 as the marriage year, so I have changed it to read "March 14, 1927" until I get further information.
33. That their marriage ended by divorce comes from Christopher Child.
