Best Answer

No, Abraham Lincoln only had one wife-- Mary Todd Lincoln. But Sarah Bush Johnston was Abraham Lincoln's step-mother. Sarah's first husband died in 1816, and she married a widower named Thomas Lincoln (Abraham's father) in December 1819. By all accounts, she and Abraham got along well, and he thought of her as if she were his biological mother.
