The website http://www.firstladies.org/biographies/firstladies.aspx?biography=17 states "Mary Lincoln's brother George R.C. Todd and her half-brothers Alexander Todd, David Todd, and Samuel Todd all fought in the Confederate Army during the Civil War."
Thus, her "blood brother" would be ONE......IF you count her half-brothers, the answer is FOUR.
Not sure what you mean when you ask "brothers" (blood, or half)......
I will say, for my answer, FOUR.
Thanks!!
