Robert Todd Lincoln is NOT buried in the tomb with his family. He died in 1926 at the age of 83. His wife had him buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The reason for this was located in a letter written by his wife where she stated that Robert... "was a personage, made his own history, independently (underlined 5 times) of his great father, and should have his own place 'in the sun'!"
