Neither Abraham Lincoln nor Jefferson Davis (president of the Confederacy) was present at the Appomattox Court House. Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, following an hour and a half long meeting during which it was decided that Confederate cavalry and officers would be allowed to retain their horses and side arms.

Ulysses S Grant was not President at the time, he was the General to whom Lee surrendered. No president met Lee at Appomatox.
