		Ann Rutledge was the daughter of one of the founders of New Salem, James Rutledge, and was eighteen years old when Abraham Lincoln arrived in 1831.
		In legend, Ann is always the tavernkeeper’s daughter and Lincoln the love-struck boarder, and while they probably became acquainted when he was staying at the tavern during his first year in the village, she was promised to another at that time, and her courtship with Lincoln was actually carried on at least two years later.
		Ann’s reluctance to become publicly engaged to Lincoln while still betrothed to another man suggested to Herndon (and many others since) that perhaps she and Lincoln were never actually engaged.

		He had used Ann Rutledge for an irrelevant and baseless attack on Mary Lincoln which provoked counterattacks by her defenders; he had mingled the evidence with speculation; he had insulted Lincoln's memory by exaggerating his grief to the point of madness and had even fabricated a soliloquy in which Lincoln ranted in Shakespearian tones.
		After proclaiming that Ann was engaged to two men at once and that the conflict caused her death, Herndon pressed for confirmation, and, while politely denying both, Robert fell into the semantic trap of calling Ann's engagement to Lincoln both conditional and unconditional.

Logan.
		Lincoln, who could not abide the thought of another beloved in Lincoln’s life, and partly because of the intervention of her firstborn son, Robert Todd Lincoln, the story was officially denied and dismissed as malicious gossip or unfounded legend.
		Furthermore, the fact that he and Ann were studying and writing together suggests a degree of seriousness and intimacy not heretofore appreciated.
