Recent postings provided information on the marriage and death of Grace (nee Shambaugh) the first wife of Dr. Jacob C. Madara of Ridgely, MD. My great aunt Bertha (nee Barry) married Jacob about 1908, several years after Grace's death. I am seeking any information on the MADARA and BARRY families. My grandfather Keith Marshall Barry was allegedly born in Ridgely on October 23, 1895. Keith, Constance and Beryl, siblings of Bertha, spent time at the Madara home and lived on the Eastern Shore until the 1920's. They were the children of my great grandparents, John Marshall Barry and Jennie (nee Benn). John Marshall Barry, (dob 1840's) lived and worked in Baltimore City. His father, John Wesley Barry (dob 1811), his uncle, William H. Barry (dob 1822), and his brothers, Charles and Joseph, worked as produce commission merchants. John Marshall Barry retired in 1910 to a farm (Beryl's Delight ??) near the town of Wittman, Talbot Co., but maintained contacts in Ridgely, Caroline Co. I believe the Barry family business sold produce at the Center Market in Baltimore City, purchased from farms on the Eastern Shore. I have not been able to establish the early residence of the Barry family--only that John Wesley Barry (my great-great grandfather), his wife Elizabeth (nee Chesley), his brother, William H. Barry and William's wife Hannah (nee Lee) had roots on the Eastern Shore, most likely in the central to northern counties. Any information is much appreciated. Austin Barry
