Yes, John F. Kennedy had a secretary named Evelyn Lincoln. However, the part being circulated about Abe Lincoln having a secretary named Kennedy is not true. It is also unknown if Lincoln's secretary, John Hay, warned him not to go to the theatre, or whether Evelyn Lincoln warned Kennedy not to go to Dallas.
